themanchestereveningnews--2020-06-11--Support bubbles explained - how it works, rules and who you can see

Some people will be allowed to start socialising with another household under new government guidelines .
From Saturday , June 13 , the government is allowing single-adult households to form a 'support bubble ' , which will allow them to socialise with others without having to stay two metres away .
The new rules will not apply to everyone and have been introduced to help those who have been the most isolated during lockdown .
Here 's what you need to know about how the new support bubbles will work , who it applies to and who you can see @ @ @ @ @ @ @ households to connect .
The two households will be allowed to spend unlimited time together - even inside each other 's houses .
Basically , once you are in a support bubble , you can think of yourself as in a single household .
Who do the new guidelines apply to ?
Support bubbles are for single adult households – so people who either live alone or single parents living with children under 18 .
Can I form a support bubble with a household that has more than one adult ?
If you @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a single-adult household , the household you choose to join up with can be of any size .
There is no limit on how far you can travel in England to meet members of your support bubble but the government is recommending that you form a support bubble with someone who lives locally if possible .
If a household is shielding then you will not be able to form a support bubble with them .
You will no longer have to stick to the two metre rule when it comes to people in @ @ @ @ @ @ @ them indoors or outdoors and be as close as you like to them .
You can also stay overnight as if you lived with them .
However , it is important that you continue to adhere to social distancing guidelines in full with all other households .
Does this mean partners will be able to see each other and grandparents can visit their grandchildren ?
In some cases , yes , but not in all .
If a grandparent lives alone , they could form a support bubble with the household of one @ @ @ @ @ @ @ then visit their grandchildren - and even hug them for the first time since the lockdown was implemented .
But if two grandparents live together , they could only form a social bubble if their family is a single-adult household .
Couples who do not live together will be able to visit and to stay with each other as long as at least one of them lives alone .
So if one half of a couple shares a flat or house with other people , they can see their partner as long they @ @ @ @ @ @ @ shares a home they can not see each other .
If several people share a flat or house and all have partners who live alone , only one will be able to see their partner .
Can you have more than one support bubble ?
You will only be allowed to form a bubble with one other household - and they should only be in a bubble with you .
Once you 've made your choice , you ca n't change it .
Can people who are shielding form a support bubble ?
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ shielding must continue to do so - and can not form a support bubble with another household .
What happens if someone in your bubble develops coronavirus symptoms ?
If you or someone in your support bubble is showing coronavirus symptoms , or otherwise self-isolating , everyone in your support bubble should stay home .
If you or a member of your support bubble is contacted as part of the test and trace programme , the individual contacted must stay at home .
If the individual becomes symptomatic , everyone in the support @ @ @ @ @

The new rules will not apply to everyone and have been introduced to help those who have been the most isolated during lockdown.

How does a support bubble work?
A support bubble will allow two households to connect.

Who do the new guidelines apply to?
Support bubbles are for single adult households – so people who either live alone or single parents living with children under 18.
Can I form a support bubble with a household that has more than one adult?
Yes.
If you require a support bubble because you are a single-adult household, the household you choose to join up with can be of any size.
There is no limit on how far you can travel in England to meet members of your support bubble but the government is recommending that you form a support bubble with someone who lives locally if possible.
If a household is shielding then you will not be able to form a support bubble with them.
Do social distancing rules still apply?
No.
You will no longer have to stick to the two metre rule when it comes to people in your support bubble.
You can bee them indoors or outdoors and be as close as you like to them.
You can also stay overnight as if you lived with them.
However, it is important that you continue to adhere to social distancing guidelines in full with all other households.
Does this mean partners will be able to see each other and grandparents can visit their grandchildren?

If several people share a flat or house and all have partners who live alone, only one will be able to see their partner.
Can you have more than one support bubble?
No.
Support bubbles should be exclusive.
You will only be allowed to form a bubble with one other household - and they should only be in a bubble with you.
Once you've made your choice, you can't change it.
Can people who are shielding form a support bubble?
No.
The government says that anyone who is shielding must continue to do so - and cannot form a support bubble with another household.
What happens if someone in your bubble develops coronavirus symptoms?
If you or someone in your support bubble is showing coronavirus symptoms, or otherwise self-isolating, everyone in your support bubble should stay home.
If you or a member of your support bubble is contacted as part of the test and trace programme, the individual contacted must stay at home.
If the individual becomes symptomatic, everyone in the support bubble must then isolate.

Corentin Tolisso's agent has shot down reports suggesting Manchester United are in talks to sign the midfielder in the summer transfer window.
A report from RMC Sport in France suggested United had opened talks with the Bayern Munich over a move at the end of the season, with the suggestion that a move could be completed for just €35m.
United are in the market for a new midfield signing in the summer window with Jack Grealish, Donny van de Beek and Kai Havertz already of interest to Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's side.
However, it seems like any hopes of a move for French midfielder Tolisso will have to be put on hold after his agent Eric Castagnino shot down the validity of recent reports.
"I'm not talking to Manchester United," the agent informed Sky Germany. "Corentin is currently injured and his return to the pitch is currently a top priority.”
The transfer development comes just hours after United favourite Rafael da Silva took to social media to urge his former side to sign the 'perfect midfielder' this summer.
Taking to Twitter the Lyon defender wrote: "One of best midfielders I play with. I think will be perfect for Manchester United. Hope he goes there."


themanchestereveningnews--2020-06-11--Rafael tells Man Utd that Tolisso would be a perfect signing

Former Manchester United defender Rafael da Silva believes that Bayern Munich midfielder Corentin Tolisso would be a 'perfect ' signing for his old club .
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer and Ed Woodward have both warned that the upcoming transfer window will be unrecognisable from previous editions due to the financial ramification of the coronavirus pandemic , yet United plan to press ahead with their plans this summer regardless .
The United boss is looking to strengthen his squad in order to mount a serious Premier League title challenge next season and would ideally like to sign a new winger in Jadon @ @ @ @ @ @ @ captain Jack Grealish and a centre-midfielder .
While M.E.N .
Spot understands that Birmingham City 's teenage prodigy Jude Bellingham is United 's current top target for the role , other quality centre-midfielders have continued to be linked with a move to Old Trafford .
One of which is Bayern star Tolisso , who could reportedly be available for a cut-price fee this summer after struggling to break into the team this campaign .
The Frenchman has made just six Bundesliga starts throughout the year - though he has been ruled out since @ @ @ @ @ @ @ surgery - as he 's behind the likes of Joshua Kimmich , Leon Goretzka and Thiago Alcantara in the midfield pecking order .
His chances for game time could reduce even further next season , too , as it 's also reported that Bayern want to add to their wealth of midfield talent by signing Bayer Leverkusen star Kai Havertz .
So if Tolisso does become available this summer Rafael , who played alongside the 25-year-old at Lyon , has urged his former side to make the move .
`` One of best @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Brazilian wrote on Twitter as he responded to speculation linking United with Tolisso .

themanchestereveningnews--2020-06-11--Hospital 'missed heart defect' after man's stabbing, inquest hears

The life of a much-loved young 'fitness fanatic ' could have been saved if a fatal heart defect been picked up when he was admitted to hospital after a stabbing , a coroner has ruled .
The `` system had failed '' Dean Gillespie , 24 , from Stockport , after high blood pressure readings were not investigated and x-rays showing his enlarged heart were not followed up on , an inquest heard .
Bosses at Stepping Hill hospital have apologised for the `` inadequate '' care Dean received .
However , his devastated parents say their fight for answers @ @ @ @ @ @ @ for their son whose life was cut tragically short .
Dean died after collapsing suddenly at his home in Cheadle Heath in September 2014 after complaining of a 'banging ' headache .
His family performed CPR before paramedics arrived and he was taken to hospital , but could not be saved .
A post-mortem examination found he died as a result of bleeding into the sacs of his heart after a `` congenital abnormality '' of his aorta called a coarctation - caused the major artery to narrow - and led to it @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and healthy and went to the gym six times a week as well as playing football at weekends , his father Mark Gillespie , told his inquest .
Dean had spent several days in hospital in 2012 following a stabbing and the inquest was told the heart problem could potentially have been picked up by medics and treated then .
Dean , who worked as a scaffolder , was admitted to hospital on April 1 , 2012 after suffering three stab wounds in an `` altercation '' .
Details of the incident , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ were `` sketchy '' the coroner said .
Mr Gillespie said from the witness box he had never truly got to the bottom of what happened .
However , Dean spent five days in hospital ungergoing surgery to repair holes in his bowel caused by the most serious wound .
He also had two further , shorter stays , one later that month and one in May 2012 as a result of complications from surgery .
An inquest into his death held on Wednesday heard he was recorded as having high blood pressure @ @ @ @ @ @ @ describing it as `` pathologically '' high .
However , that was interpreted as likely being due to the pain he was in and was not investigated further .
Two chest x-rays , carried out on April 1 and April 4 2012 also showed he had an enlarged heart , the radiologist who examined them three weeks later found .
But for `` reasons that are not clear '' these findings were not shared with the consultant surgeon in charge of his care who only saw them this year , the inquest was @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Clarke , told the hearing if he had seen them he would have discussed them with the specialist and would likely have referred Dean to a cardiologist for further investigation .
A report from an independent heart specialist , Professor John Pepper , based at the Royal Brompton Hospital in London , read at the hearing concluded if he had been referred his problem would have diagnosed and he could he have been treated with a stent and that Dean could have had a `` good result . ''
Dean went back to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ hospitalised in 2012 and suffered no major issues after that time , Mr Gillespie said .
He collapsed shortly after returning from work in September 2014 after taking paracetamol and going to bed because of his headache .
South Manchester Coroner , Chris Morris , recorded a narrative conclusion that Dean died `` as a consequence of a congenital heart abnormality which was not diagnosed during his lifetime '' following the inquest at South Manchester Coroner 's court in Stockport .
He said that the `` system in operation at the time failed @ @ @ @ @ @ @ surgeon been made aware of the radiologists reports a discussion would have taken place which would likely have led to a referral to a cardiologist , '' the coroner said .
`` This , in turn , is likely to have led to the diagnosis of Mr Gillespie 's coarctation of the aorta which probably would have saved his life . ''
He added there had been a `` wholesale absence of professional curiosity '' from the surgical team in relation to his high blood pressure readings and that `` no efforts '' @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Stockport NHS Foundation Trust has previously apologised to the family and reached a financial settlement .
In a statement released after the hearing the trust said : `` We are deeply sorry that the standard of care provided to Dean Gillespie was inadequate , and we would like to take this opportunity to repeat our sincere apologies , sympathy and condolences to his family and loved ones in this case .
`` While compensation has been agreed , we recognise that no amount of money can make up for the loss of a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the inquest today will help answer some questions that his loved ones may have had about the circumstances leading to his untimely death . ''
Mr Gillespie and Dean 's mother Sue , told the Manchester Evening News : `` We have not been able to grieve .
`` It is six years this September and all we have been doing since then is fighting .
`` We do feel like we have been failed by the system .
`` But ( the coroner 's findings ) do n't help really .
`` @ @ @ @ @ @ @ up the pieces now .
`` 'They could have done this and could have done that ' are words you just do n't want to hear really .
`` It 's almost rubbing salt in the wounds . ''

The life of a much-loved young 'fitness fanatic' could have been saved if a fatal heart defect been picked up when he was admitted to hospital after a stabbing, a coroner has ruled.
The "system had failed" Dean Gillespie, 24, from Stockport, after high blood pressure readings were not investigated and x-rays showing his enlarged heart were not followed up on, an inquest heard.
Bosses at Stepping Hill hospital have apologised for the "inadequate" care Dean received.
However, his devastated parents say their fight for answers meant they have been unable to grieve for their son whose life was cut tragically short.
Dean died after collapsing suddenly at his home in Cheadle Heath in September 2014 after complaining of a 'banging' headache.
His family performed CPR before paramedics arrived and he was taken to hospital, but could not be saved.
A post-mortem examination found he died as a result of bleeding into the sacs of his heart after a "congenital abnormality" of his aorta called a coarctation - caused the major artery to narrow - and led to it rupturing.
He had previously been fit and healthy and went to the gym six times a week as well as playing football at weekends, his father Mark Gillespie, told his inquest.
Dean had spent several days in hospital in 2012 following a stabbing and the inquest was told the heart problem could potentially have been picked up by medics and treated then.

Dean, who worked as a scaffolder, was admitted to hospital on April 1, 2012 after suffering three stab wounds in an "altercation".
Details of the incident, which had occurred "between friends" were "sketchy" the coroner said.
Mr Gillespie said from the witness box he had never truly got to the bottom of what happened.
However, Dean spent five days in hospital ungergoing surgery to repair holes in his bowel caused by the most serious wound. He also had two further, shorter stays, one later that month and one in May 2012 as a result of complications from surgery.
An inquest into his death held on Wednesday heard he was recorded as having high blood pressure during those admissions, with one expert describing it as "pathologically" high.
However, that was interpreted as likely being due to the pain he was in and was not investigated further.

Two chest x-rays, carried out on April 1 and April 4 2012 also showed he had an enlarged heart, the radiologist who examined them three weeks later found.
But for "reasons that are not clear" these findings were not shared with the consultant surgeon in charge of his care who only saw them this year, the inquest was told.
The surgeon, Dr Edwin Clarke, told the hearing if he had seen them he would have discussed them with the specialist and would likely have referred Dean to a cardiologist for further investigation.

A report from an independent heart specialist, Professor John Pepper, based at the Royal Brompton Hospital in London, read at the hearing concluded if he had been referred his problem would have diagnosed and he could he have been treated with a stent and that Dean could have had a "good result."
Dean went back to work two to three months after being hospitalised in 2012 and suffered no major issues after that time, Mr Gillespie said.
He collapsed shortly after returning from work in September 2014 after taking paracetamol and going to bed because of his headache.
South Manchester Coroner, Chris Morris, recorded a narrative conclusion that Dean died "as a consequence of a congenital heart abnormality which was not diagnosed during his lifetime" following the inquest at South Manchester Coroner's court in Stockport.

He said that the "system in operation at the time failed Dean."
"Had the consultant surgeon been made aware of the radiologists reports a discussion would have taken place which would likely have led to a referral to a cardiologist," the coroner said.
"This, in turn, is likely to have led to the diagnosis of Mr Gillespie's coarctation of the aorta which probably would have saved his life."
He added there had been a "wholesale absence of professional curiosity" from the surgical team in relation to his high blood pressure readings and that "no efforts" were made to further investigate them.
Stockport NHS Foundation Trust has previously apologised to the family and reached a financial settlement.

In a statement released after the hearing the trust said: "We are deeply sorry that the standard of care provided to Dean Gillespie was inadequate, and we would like to take this opportunity to repeat our sincere apologies, sympathy and condolences to his family and loved ones in this case.
"While compensation has been agreed, we recognise that no amount of money can make up for the loss of a much-loved son.
"We hope that the inquest today will help answer some questions that his loved ones may have had about the circumstances leading to his untimely death."
Mr Gillespie and Dean's mother Sue, told the Manchester Evening News: "We have not been able to grieve.
"It is six years this September and all we have been doing since then is fighting.
"We do feel like we have been failed by the system.
"But (the coroner's findings) don't help really.
"It is us who have to pick up the pieces now.
"'They could have done this and could have done that' are words you just don't want to hear really.
"It's almost rubbing salt in the wounds."

themanchestereveningnews--2020-06-11--New guidance issued for airports and passengers on coronavirus

The Department for Transport has published new aviation guidance , setting out measures operators should put in place to protect staff and passengers from the spread of coronavirus .
The guidance , produced by the government ’ s International Aviation Taskforce , in collaboration with the industry , also provides advice for passengers on how to travel safely and on how to follow social distancing measures at each stage of their journey .
It focuses on the health and safety of passengers and staff and , in line with international best practice , is the culmination of extensive engagement between @ @ @ @ @ @ @ health experts .
It outlines a framework for the industry to operate from once travel restrictions are lifted and when it is safe to do so , helping to restore jobs , trade and opportunities for travel .
The guidance to passengers covers all aspects of the travel experience , from checking the public health requirements before booking a flight , to navigating the airport safely and boarding the flight or leaving the airport .
Practical advice includes wearing face coverings when in the airport ; washing hands regularly after touching any surfaces @ @ @ @ @ @ @ luggage ; and remaining seated as much as possible during the flight .
Transport Secretary Grant Shapps said it was a 'positive next step towards ensuring a safer and more sustainable aviation sector ' .
`` The government ’ s advice currently remains to avoid all non-essential travel , but today we are taking the necessary steps to ensure a framework is in place for the aviation industry to bounce back when it is safe for restrictions on travel to be lifted , '' he said .
Tim Hawkins , chief strategy officer @ @ @ @ @ @ @ `` This new guidance provides the basis for the restart and recovery of the UK aviation industry – it offers clear information for us , our passengers and our airlines on the steps needed to create a safe travel experience .
`` The guidance is the result of strong collaboration between government and the aviation industry , drawing on advice from independent medical and scientific experts who have looked specifically at what safety measures are needed at each stage of the travel process .
`` With similar protocols being adopted in other countries @ @ @ @ @ @ @ travel to low-risk countries , we will have the elements in place to get our economy moving again and protect jobs throughout the whole aviation supply chain . ''
The guidance to operators will also support staff by promoting safe practices and workplaces .
This includes extensive cleaning of aircraft , increasing the availability of handwashing and hand sanitiser facilities , reducing face-to-face interactions with passengers , and introducing protocols for symptomatic passengers and staff .
Passengers are urged to avoid busiest times and routes and keep their distance when travelling - two @ @ @ @ @ @ @ sanitise their hands frequently .
You should not travel if you are experiencing coronavirus symptoms now or in the last week , or are self-isolating , or sharing a household with someone experiencing symptoms in the last 14 days , or if you 've been told to self-isolate after coming into close contact with someone with coronavirus in the last fortnight .
If you have any symptoms of coronavirus you should self-isolate at home and arrange for a test .
If anyone in your household has symptoms of coronavirus you should self-isolate .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ distancing of two metres and 'minimise the time you spend near other people ' .
On hand washing , it says people should wash their hands regularly with soap and water for at least 20 seconds particularly after touching surfaces 'for example luggage trolley handles , self-service check-in and security trays ' .
If washing facilities are not available , use hand sanitiser .
People are urged not to touch their face , mouth or eyes and cover their mouth and nose with a tissue or elbow when coughing or sneezing .
On @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in airports and onboard aircraft .
Some people may not be able to wear a face covering .
For example , children under the age of three , people with breathing difficulties and people whose disabilities makes it difficult for them .
The advice says you should bring your own face covering for use throughout your journey .
Bring spare face coverings for longer journeys and plastic bags to store used face coverings .
You should remove your face covering if asked to do so by police officers or police staff for the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to wash your hands before putting them on and after taking them off .
Store face coverings hygienically when not in use .
Check your airline ’ s requirements before you travel .
If you don ’ t have a face covering some airlines may stop you from boarding , if wearing a face covering is part of their conditions of carriage .
Some international destinations may require different face coverings or masks to the UK .
The Welsh Government has its own face covering guidance .
Before booking a flight , understand @ @ @ @ @ @ @ country , restrictions on re-entering the UK and read the essential international travel guidance , foreign travel advice for each country and guidance for British citizens travelling abroad .
Where possible , your airline will inform you on measures to minimise transmission of coronavirus and they have the right to refuse travel to anyone who they believe is not fit to fly .
Depending on the airport you fly from and where you are flying to , you may need to have your temperature checked before flying .
Check-in online to avoid face-to-face @ @ @ @ @ @ @ hand baggage to speed up boarding and disembarking and minimise the risk of transmission .
Enter the airport on your own , unless you are flying with members of your household .

The Department for Transport has published new aviation guidance, setting out measures operators should put in place to protect staff and passengers from the spread of coronavirus.
The guidance, produced by the government’s International Aviation Taskforce, in collaboration with the industry, also provides advice for passengers on how to travel safely and on how to follow social distancing measures at each stage of their journey.
It focuses on the health and safety of passengers and staff and, in line with international best practice, is the culmination of extensive engagement between the government, aviation industry and public health experts.
It outlines a framework for the industry to operate from once travel restrictions are lifted and when it is safe to do so, helping to restore jobs, trade and opportunities for travel.
The guidance to passengers covers all aspects of the travel experience, from checking the public health requirements before booking a flight, to navigating the airport safely and boarding the flight or leaving the airport.
Practical advice includes wearing face coverings when in the airport; washing hands regularly after touching any surfaces; checking in all baggage including hand luggage; and remaining seated as much as possible during the flight.

Transport Secretary Grant Shapps said it was a 'positive next step towards ensuring a safer and more sustainable aviation sector'.
"The government’s advice currently remains to avoid all non-essential travel, but today we are taking the necessary steps to ensure a framework is in place for the aviation industry to bounce back when it is safe for restrictions on travel to be lifted," he said.
Tim Hawkins, chief strategy officer at Manchester Airports Group, said: "This new guidance provides the basis for the restart and recovery of the UK aviation industry – it offers clear information for us, our passengers and our airlines on the steps needed to create a safe travel experience.
"The guidance is the result of strong collaboration between government and the aviation industry, drawing on advice from independent medical and scientific experts who have looked specifically at what safety measures are needed at each stage of the travel process.

"With similar protocols being adopted in other countries, and a targeted approach to reopening travel to low-risk countries, we will have the elements in place to get our economy moving again and protect jobs throughout the whole aviation supply chain."
The guidance to operators will also support staff by promoting safe practices and workplaces. This includes extensive cleaning of aircraft, increasing the availability of handwashing and hand sanitiser facilities, reducing face-to-face interactions with passengers, and introducing protocols for symptomatic passengers and staff.
Passengers are urged to avoid busiest times and routes and keep their distance when travelling - two metres where possible and to wash or sanitise their hands frequently.
(Image: PA)
You should not travel if you are experiencing coronavirus symptoms now or in the last week, or are self-isolating, or sharing a household with someone experiencing symptoms in the last 14 days, or if you've been told to self-isolate after coming into close contact with someone with coronavirus in the last fortnight.
If you have any symptoms of coronavirus you should self-isolate at home and arrange for a test.
If anyone in your household has symptoms of coronavirus you should self-isolate.
The guidance urges people to maintain social distancing of two metres and 'minimise the time you spend near other people'.

On hand washing, it says people should wash their hands regularly with soap and water for at least 20 seconds particularly after touching surfaces 'for example luggage trolley handles, self-service check-in and security trays'.
If washing facilities are not available, use hand sanitiser.
People are urged not to touch their face, mouth or eyes and cover their mouth and nose with a tissue or elbow when coughing or sneezing.
On face coverings, people should wear them in airports and onboard aircraft.

Some people may not be able to wear a face covering. For example, children under the age of three, people with breathing difficulties and people whose disabilities makes it difficult for them.
The advice says you should bring your own face covering for use throughout your journey. Bring spare face coverings for longer journeys and plastic bags to store used face coverings.
You should remove your face covering if asked to do so by police officers or police staff for the purposes of identification.
It is important to wash your hands before putting them on and after taking them off. Store face coverings hygienically when not in use.
Check your airline’s requirements before you travel. If you don’t have a face covering some airlines may stop you from boarding, if wearing a face covering is part of their conditions of carriage.
Some international destinations may require different face coverings or masks to the UK.
The Welsh Government has its own face covering guidance.
Before booking a flight, understand the public health requirements of your destination country, restrictions on re-entering the UK and read the essential international travel guidance,foreign travel advice for each country and guidance for British citizens travelling abroad.

Where possible, your airline will inform you on measures to minimise transmission of coronavirus and they have the right to refuse travel to anyone who they believe is not fit to fly.
Depending on the airport you fly from and where you are flying to, you may need to have your temperature checked before flying.
Check-in online to avoid face-to-face contact at the airport and minimise any hand baggage to speed up boarding and disembarking and minimise the risk of transmission.
Enter the airport on your own, unless you are flying with members of your household.
Non-passengers should only enter the airport where needed. For example, accompanying or picking up a passenger requiring assistance, such as a disabled person or an unaccompanied child.
Follow instructions from airport and airline staff, which may include:
Where to sit
How to queue at check-in, security or when boarding the aircraft
Instructions on screens, barriers or floor markings
Requests to move to less busy areas
Avoid walking around the airport and mixing with people that you do not normally meet.
In shops at the airport, follow social distancing measures and, where possible, pay by contactless card.

The UK has a wide range of aircraft flying to many different international and domestic destinations. Measures to control coronavirus transmission will depend on:
The technical features of your aircraft
Any specific requirements of your destination
The individual risk controls identified by your airline
Your airline will advise you on measures in place for your flight.
During the flight, you should:
Remain seated as much as possible
Follow instructions and guidance from crew
Use contactless payment where possible
Be aware there is likely to be a reduced food and drink service
Make the cabin crew aware if you become ill
On arriving in the UK, you must comply with border, immigration and self-isolation requirements.
