As far as the cruise is concerned, I understand all the passengers were allowed to mix, so I think the risk over that period of time was substantial and has been referred to as a petri-dish!
The risk on a flight lasting twelve hours, is hardly comparable - particularly as very many people wore masks.
Advice not taken of course by the Chinese person returning from China..... and further having attended a meeting in London after which 2 MP's self isolated .... taking an Uber to A & E
Yes it was announced the other day by The Dept. Of Health people would attend you at home rather than you travel , if you rang 111 feeling you might have the virus.
You might not be aware that all the passengers allowed to board that flight home last Friday night had tested negative. Nevertheless now 4 have contracted it .
There as yet hasn't been an official agreement on the incubation period , some saying it could be more than a suggested 14 hrs.
