Passengers and staff at Manchester Airport will have to wear gloves and face masks starting this week. There will also be temperature scanners at the hub as part of a 'trial' to screen those who could have contracted COVID-19.
Passengers could also be asked to make a 'health declaration' to confirm they are asymptomatic before entering the terminal - or even provide the results of a COVID-19 test.
The measures, says Charlie Cornish, Group CEO of Manchester Airports Group, have been drawn up following consultation with medical experts and in the absence of official guidance from the government.
It comes amid calls from across the industry for Whitehall to set a framework for minimum standards for all UK airports to adhere to.
