The worldwide spread of the virus was caused by foreign travellers so wouldn't you think that a complete ban is a good course of action having the benefit of the experience of the original spreading of it?
Although a complete ban sounds like a good idea, so many infected foreigners have already come here, not to mention the various Brits who have returned from overseas where they subsequently contracted the virus, that containing the virus is going to be extremely hard work to say the least, especially given that there is currently no cure for coronavirus. Therefore, although it would seem logical to impose a total ban it is, in effect, like shutting the stable door once the horse has bolted. However, it would be worthwhile implementing a complete ban on overseas travel for all travellers, both incoming and outgoing, so as to minimise the risks of the disease being passed on by people who may otherwise still be insistent on travelling overseas during the pandemic, which may go some way towards avoiding a second spike of the disease.
