Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what steps his Department is taking to monitor people returning to the UK from Italy for symptoms of covid-19.
Airports providing flights between Italy and the United Kingdom have displayed posters and provided leaflets on symptoms of COVID-19 and what to do if a traveller becomes unwell. These are available in nine different languages.
Public Health England has created a poster about the current risk of travelling to Italy. This has been sent to UK airports, seaports and international train terminals to inform passengers about affected areas in Italy. COVID-19 materials are available at the following link:
