Rejected petition Ban all international passenger flights for two weeks to delay Cronavirus
It is absolutely now essential to ban all passenger international flights arriving in the UK and leaving the UK for two weeks to delay the spread of the Cronavirus. The ban should also be put on passenger ferries arriving and leaving the UK.
More details
The situation should then be monitored by Government again in two weeks time to whether extend this ban or lift the ban in two weeks time. This is very important to delay the spread of the virus - This has already been implemented by other countries. If wet did not implement this then example of Italy could happen here.
