The British major airport Heathrow, which reported an 88 percent decline in travelers in July due to travel restrictions in the Covid-19 pandemic, wants to introduce corona tests upon arrival at the airport.

The demand comes after the British government introduced a 14-day quarantine upon arrival from countries such as Spain, Luxembourg, Belgium, the Bahamas and Andorra.

”The government can save jobs by introducing testing, to remove quarantine for travel from high-risk countries,” says Heathrow CEO John Holland-Kaye.

He adds that tens of thousands of jobs are at stake unless travel to countries like the US, Canada and Singapore resumes.
