For what it’s worth, in your situation I’d behave exactly as you are. I have a visit to London planned for the beginning of next week and hopefully a flight to the U.S. later in the month. At the moment I intend to go ahead with both, but the authorities - no political point being made here - and the media do seem to be giving out mixed messages which doesn’t help.
Be nice to be told the truth rather than just reminded to wash rather than shake our hands. Enjoy your trip.
