Rejected petition Mandatory scanning on ALL UK ports for Ebola from all immigrants from African countries

More details

This petition is for the MADATORY SCANNING of every person travelling from Ebola affected countries, primarily those of Africa etc.

This could help prevent a major outbreak being caused through the standard travel routes used DAILY and currently not strictly enough monitored.

Although this disease is not airborne, it is extremely hazardous when present amongst large groups of people like airports due to the higher likelihood of transmittal via other methods. The potential for this reaching several people at a port is worrying.
Please scan and monitor all African Immigrants now.
