According to The Times Online, the UK’s major airlines are to stop passengers with symptoms of swine flu from travelling. British Airways and Virgin Atlantic have issued guidelines to check-in staff and cabin crew, and travellers with swine flu symptoms will be prevented from travelling unless they have doctors’ notes stating that they are fit to fly.
Dr. Peter Holden, from the British Medical Association, told The Times that it would be “a total and utter waste of time” for doctors to issue medical notes in such cases.
