Wallace: Restrictions for travellers from China 'under review'
Defence Secretary Ben Wallace says the government is "keeping that under review" when asked whether the UK should be introducing travel restrictions on people flying in from China.
The MP's comments come as the US has announced it will impose new mandatory Covid-19 testing on all travellers from China, following the decision by Beijing to lift its stringent "zero Covid" policies.
America joined Italy, India, Taiwan, South Korea, Malaysia and Japan in announcing new measures following an increase of infections in China.

Study Finds People's , Happiness Not Impacted , By COVID Pandemic.
A new study suggests that
the COVID-19 pandemic has not
impacted people's overall happiness. .
'The Guardian' reports that these conclusions were reached
despite putting entire nations on lockdown, triggering
an economic downturn and claiming 6.7 million lives.
The study, through over 100,000 interviews
across 137 countries, found that overall
benevolence rose in all global regions. .
Similarly, when asked to rate their lives on
a scale of one to ten, people responded with
scores equally as high as before the pandemic.
The undoubted pains were offset
by increases in the extent to which
respondents had been able to discover
and share the capacity to care
for each other in difficult times, 10th World Happiness Report, via 'The Guardian'.
The World Happiness Report was compiled by
Richard Layard, a London School of Economics professor,
and Jeffrey Sachs, a professor at Columbia University.
People ended up discovering their
neighbors. People were checking in
more regularly [with other generations]
so that sense of isolation was
not as much as you would expect … , John Helliwell, Professor of economics at the University of British Columbia and co-editor, via 'The Guardian'.
Even during these difficult years,
positive emotions have remained
twice as prevalent as negative ones,
and feelings of positive social support
twice as strong as those of loneliness, John Helliwell, Professor of economics at the University of British Columbia and co-editor, via 'The Guardian'.
According to the report, the largest happiness gaps
were found to be in the African countries of Liberia,
the Republic of the Congo and Mozambique.
We need to turn this wisdom into
practical results to achieve more
peace, prosperity, trust, civility –
and yes, happiness – in our societies, Jeffrey Sachs, Professor at Columbia University and co-author, via 'The Guardian'
