But before they're allowed back.All they need to do is keep them quarantined away from anyone with ebola for a period of time to give the symptoms time to show.Maybe a week or two.If they're ok then let them come back,If not don't let them back until they're treated.

All the main hospitals and local authorities are well prepared so this is nothing to worry about.

It shouldn't be tbh. I know we are all 'omg human rightz' about everything, but with something like this...I think its fair to force people to be tested. If they want to play russian roulette then fair enough, but its not fair to risk the health of others they come into contact with

Common sense from the Eyeball.

I was virtually called an idiot on an earlier thread for claiming Ebola could easily come to the UK, and also berated when I said that 'voluntary form filling' at airports was a joke as a 'preventative security measure'.

Who's the idiot now?

I totally agree.

Yeah I agree

Although I guess for them to force it at the major UK airports it would involve a lot of planning and a lot of people to be employed to operate tests in airports, clearly something the UK government aren't willing to finance. Around 1000+ people a month arrive from countries effected by Ebola, so it would be an enormous and hefty operation to have every single person monitored off these flights

I doubt they will go down the forced route until we have a potential outbreak in the UK

She was tested, in Morocco before her connecting flight to the UK.

I agree.I've been saying this from the start.Nothing gets done until its "Oh ****,Maybe we did'nt do enough"

Prevention is better than the cure.Imo.

Earlier this week Dr Michael Jacobs, who has been involved in Ms Cafferkey's treatment, said she had been sitting up and talking - adding she was able to read, eat and drink and had spoken to her family.

However, he revealed the hospital was unable to obtain ZMapp, the drug used to treat fellow British volunteer nurse William Pooley, who recovered, because "there is none in the world at the moment".

This is really odd.... I saw a news report that suggested that they were rushing a vaccine, my guess? It's being held ransom to the highest bidder.
