 Heathrow queues ignore social distancing

LONDON 2 Aug (ANA) - Frustrated travellers chanted ‘we want more staff’ as they were forced to queue for hours at passport control at Heathrow Airport this weekend.  Just three officials were seen on duty checking documents yesterday, leading to a backlog of hundreds of people crammed into a poorly ventilated room with ‘no social distancing’, said passengers. The airport has admitted the situation was ‘totally unacceptable’, but said it was the responsibility of the UK Border Force who control the gates, MailOnline reported.  Natalie Crane, 32, from Surrey, had arrived back from a holiday in Majorca with her husband, mother, and three young children when she was faced with a two-hour delay.(ANA)
