I wonder how many come to the UK positive?Four airlines face suspensions on China routes this week
According to a recent Civil Aviation Authority of China (CAAC) notice, Oman Air, Egyptair, Shanghai Airlines, and Sichuan Airlines are all in the firing line this week. An April 8 Oman Air flight from Muscat (MCT) to Guangzhou (CAN) carried six passengers who tested positive for COVID after landing. Consequently, the CAAC suspended two inbound flights on that route over a two-week period.
On April 13, an EgyptAir flight from Cairo (CAI) to Hangzhou (HGH) flew in 15 passengers who later tested positive for COVID. That airline is now banned from carrying passengers on four inbound flights for two weeks from May 2. A Shanghai Airlines flight from Bangkok (BKK) to Nanchang (KHN) inadvertently flew in nine COVID positive cases on April 9, also resulting in a two-week inbound flight ban on that route.

Quite a lot probably. But as you need neither vaccination nor a covid test….who knows?
We’ve more or less given up on detecting the virus or limiting its spread.

Assuming you’re vaccinated, boosted and without serious underlying health issues, the current variations of covid-19 seem about as dangerous as crossing the road.
In fact, crossing the road….or travelling on it….is probably more risky in Egypt, so perhaps Who2 is better off staying put. Plenty of decent hospitals in London if you’re unlucky.

Re: Egypt Air banned from China
It would now seem a bit extreem to ban flights from various countries, unless of course there is an unchecked epidemic going on - Covid or something else.
Let's be realistic about this- you can test negative in a morning, and by the evening be Covid positive, whether you've taken a flight or not.
As someone who took every precaution initially, spent the first year in almost complete isolation, and since then been very concientious about wearing a mask, hand sanitising, limiting where I go, etc. I have still managed to have Covid 3 times. I am just so thankful that the vaccines have been developed and doled out, (sceptical though I was at first), making the whole experience much less dire for most of us than it would have been two years ago. However, we must not lose sight of the fact that Covid can still be life debilitating, and a killer (as can influenza and other illnesses be).

Re: Egypt Air banned from China
After years of not getting covid, last week I tested positive, I don't hang around with anyone so it must have been caught by touching something, even though I carry gel around with me and use it all the time.
I've had 2 shots and a booster
Symptoms was like a slight cold that lasted about 4 days.
