Rejected petition Close the border, to infected nations, to prevent the spread of COVID-19
The Home Office must declare COVID-19 as a national threat and therefore, close the borders to infected nations. If we continue to allow people through the border, the coronavirus will only spread more rapidly, and further afield.
More details
Closing the borders to infected nations is in the upmost interest of our nation. Common sense dictates that when you let people enter the country from areas with deadly diseases, viruses or infections, the nations risk of developing those diseases, viruses or infections increases detrimentally. The government must take proper measures to ensure the safety of its citizens, if that means closing the border, then so be it.
