We seem to be well behind by admitting planeloads of meat/poultry processors and pickers with NO test at all and no quarantining either!They are preparing our food!!!

Why were the tests not carried out before they boarded the plane?
If found to have covid at destination perhaps the airline should then be fined???

According to the article, they all had documents to show "valid negative tests"! The Greeks did their own rapid results tests which were positive!

I wonder how much they had to pay for the "certification". You have to remember that they are often controlled by "work agencies" (gang master's to you and me) both in their homeland and where they are working.

I don't suppose their port of exit, in other words the country they were leaving, were not sorry to see them go? Especially if that country was not their country of naturalisation.

The trouble with an open and generous society is you get taken now and again. And again. In my view it's worth it but entry procedures seem to be v. lax. At least some degree of justifiable cautionary measures would be helpful.
