Rejected petition Check all travelers from known counties with Covid-19 on our borders.

We would like all ports to check every person entering the country with a fever on our borders.
People entering the country should be quarantined on entry if they're symptomatic with fever or other respiratory symptoms.
Advice handouts to all individuals in their native languages.

More details

In our view, the government isn’t performing adequate checks on entry to the UK.
Most if not all UK airports as of 07/03/2020 are not performing checks on all passengers from known countries with Covid-19 cases.
As Europe is also suffering as a whole we should try to reduce the number of cases coming from other countries.
By performing more checks on our borders we hope this will reduce the spread of the infection from other countries as a whole and reduce the impact on the NHS.
