Objectives:
Examining and visualising the differences in border testing results between the UK and other countries.
Methods:
Countries were selected for comparison if there exist information regarding COVID-19 border testing. Here, in addition to the UK, the following countries were examined: Korean, Thailand, Iceland, Israel and Canada. The data was pulled from multiple government sources and using the WayBack machine. Not all countries contained similar information, but exhaustive comparison with the UK data was done where possible.
