Q My daughter has been in Rishikesh in India for the past two weeks studying to be a yoga teacher. She is now in lockdown due to the coronavirus. She has been assured by the yoga centre that she can stay there until flights resume. When they do, will she be able to come straight home to us after arriving back in the UK? Will they test her at the airport to see if she is free from the virus?

A Sorry to hear about your daughter’s situation and I hope you are feeling reassured that she is being well looked after.
