I appreciate that it's a tricky situation, but flying people (who might or might not be infected or infectious) into the country is really quite risky - and costly. Not only the passengers will have to be quarantined, but the crew too......and the plane will have to be de-contaminated before it can be used again!

The UK is "well prepared" to deal with coronavirus cases and the risk to individuals "remains low", the government has said.
Downing Street said 99% of those tested in the UK had come back negative.
The total number of cases in the UK has risen to 13 after four cruise ship passengers flown back to Britain on Saturday tested positive for the virus.
