Rejected petition Quarantine returning citizens & stop other entry - To ensure a real lockdown
Clapping for the NHS will not reduce their workload and or protect our family members but this can:
In 6 months time a lockdown will have failed if we continue to have flights and ships land in the UK, that are highly likely to have infected travellers onboard!
Completely wasted effort!
More details
As we now know had the UK closed its doors at the end of 2019 this epidemic could have been completely avoided.
NOW the only sure fire way to protect ourselves is to limit all travel into the UK to ONLY returning citizens.
We MUST quarantine all returning citizens in allocated hotels for a minimum of 2 weeks unless testing is possible to shorten this duration.
This is the only way to ensure a lockdown is worthwhile and UK doesn't relapse.
