We will be following up with any United kingdom passengers who had been sitting in the vicinity of the passenger with MERS-CoV, as a precautionary measure.
“Any United kingdom based travellers who turn out to be unwell with a fever, cough or shortness of breath inside of 14 days of currently being in the Middle East, need to make certain they contact their medical professional and inform them the place they have travelled.
