Tourist lands at Heathrow, admits he's sick and doesn't know about UK quarantine

An unwell passenger arriving at Heathrow Airport and needing to go to the hospital has admitted that he was unaware of the UK's new 14-day quarantine regulations and was about to board the London Underground.

The oblivious traveller, who had arrived at the international airport from Switzerland yesterday, explained that he was about to board the tube despite showing signs of an illness which he claimed were from an ear or tooth infection.
