Closed petition Seek international pact for immediate border closures upon discovery of epidemic

It appears that insufficient early action was taken to contain Covid-19. Whether we need it in 2025 or 2100 it is a sensible long-term plan that needs to be enforceable by law or by 'after the fact' sanctions.
