Just had a quick look at the scheduled arrivals at Heathrow today.

A few from these countries have already landed : Hong Kong, Singapore, Colombo, Boston, Chicago, Addis Ababa, New York City...

On Time: Amsterdam, Rome, Los Angeles, Doha, Malta, Paris, Nice, Tokyo....

Not keeping up-to-date with UK news, so do the passengers still just walk off the plane and disperse throughout the UK?
From what I have seen in Uk news , yes they are allowed to disperse , with a warning they have to observe U.K. lockdown . The numbers are scary , 15,000 a day .

If you compare the Chinese experience , one city allowed some Russians in , then soon after the town had to go back into lockdown .

The thing is that many many people already have holidays booked for Cyprus during the Summer Months..
It is not unreasonable for them to wonder what will happen to their bookings

I understand Trev, but the summer is only a couple of months from now, with the UK for example reporting a thousand deaths every day, is any one really considering traveling for a holiday, whether its already booked or not? As for traveling here for a holiday, I can't see the authorities allowing any tourists to enter Cyprus this summer.

Your authorities are trying to work it out:

In the instance of our family members they have a holiday booked to Cyprus from the UK in Mid June..
The travel agent they are booked with wants the final instalment as the Holiday has not yet been cancelled by the Holiday company... So they will pay the final amount, but knowing that in the coming weeks the holiday may be cancelled.
Then, and only then, can they put a claim in for a refund...
