LONDON, Aug 11 — Britain’s Heathrow Airport renewed its call for Covid-19 testing at airports today as it reported an 88 per cent plunge in July passenger numbers due to ongoing restrictions on travel which it said were strangling the UK economy. Despite thousands of Britons holidaying overseas after months of lockdown, the government has already reimposed quarantine on arrivals from Spain, Luxembourg, Belgium, the Bahamas and Andorra.
However, Heathrow believes airport testing of passengers could safely keep routes open and restart others to help the UK’s economic recovery.
