Heathrow Airport’s chief executive has called on the British Government to help ease quarantine restrictions on passengers arriving from higher-risk countries with a scheme for coronavirus tests on landing.

John Holland-Kaye said the testing could be “up and running” in a fortnight after Boris Johnson warned further European nations could lose their exempted status amid signs of a “second wave” of Covid-19.
