Britons furious as UK not testing 15,000-a-day arriving in UK airports: ‘Ridiculous!

MATT HANCOCK joined Piers Morgan and Susanna Reid on Good Morning Britain today in a heated discussion regarding the government’s current plans to continue to tackle coronavirus. However, fans were left furious as they heard the Health Secretary reveal that people are arriving in the UK from coronavirus hotspots and are not being tested for the deadly virus.

Good Morning Britain viewers were left furious today as Health Secretary Matt Hancock revealed there was a distinct lack of testing at airports for people coming into the UK from coronavirus hotspots. Morgan and Hancock engaged in a very heated debate over the subject and viewers also hit out at the health secretary online.

After Reid quizzed Hancock on the government’s exit strategy for the end of the lockdown, Morgan was keen to ask whether those still arriving in the UK were being tested for Covid-19

Referencing the importance of testing, Morgan asked: “If it’s so crucial, why are we still having all our airports open, flying in from coronavirus hotspots like New York, like Italy, like China.

“It doesn’t make sense to me that we are allowing tens of thousands of people to come into our airports and walk into our communities without even a basic test.

“And given that we know that many people can be asymptomatic. Can you explain that?

“We do of course have different treatment from different places according to how serious the outbreak is-” Hancock began to respond.

But Morgan interrupted: “How many people are you testing at airports?

Hancock explained: “The number of people coming through has dropped very very dramatically and very low - 

“How many have come in this week?” Morgan interrupted.

“About 15,000,” Hancock replied, with Morgan hitting back: “So that’s about 15,000 a day without any test?”

Hancock’s admission left those watching at home furious and many took to Twitter to express their anger.

“#GMB @piersmorgan great question on why are all these people coming in from hotspots untested, why!!!? We will never get out of this going round in circles,” one viewer raged.

Another added: “So we all have to stay in our houses to stop the spread, everyday there’s videos of the police abusing their powers in the name of this ‘lockdown’ but they don’t mind 15,000 people a day flying into the country?” #GMB.
