Rejected petition Temperature checks on arrival at UK airports and ports or managed isolation

Rejected on 21 January 2021

Temperature checks on arrival to UK. New Zealand puts all arrivals in managed quarantine for 2 weeks or you pay $3100 for 1st person , if not staying in country 90 days + Ie legitimate reason to enter country during a global pandemic.

This is why the mutation started from South Africa. Beauty salons have temperature check guns on arrival to keep themselves safe yet borders are a free for all. Covid 19 started in China and spread as there are no border checks, even after Italy’s warnings.we are 1 yr on. Europe wanted to close door to UK at Xmas after owned up to mutation. Covid 19 didn’t swim to our island country. Things will continue to worsen unless temperature checks are taken on arrival to UK and managed isolation.
