For months and months there have been dozens of flights EVERY DAY in the UK from all parts of the world already affected by the virus with no checks or even advice given out.

Indeed, it's still the case now! There have been no proactive attempts to stop the movement of people into the UK, other than the natural attrition of flights because the airlines are grounding their fleets....
Last night the BBC News called Italy the 'epicentre of the outbreak in Europe' and it is clearly the place where the worst and largest outbreak began.

Flights out of China and the Far East were the first to be reduced and then stopped.

Returnees from N.Italy were in large numbers. They may not be the only source of UK infections but are surely the largest.
