Closed Remove Sierra Leone from the UK red list of countries with covid 19 variant

Closed on

We as Sierra Leoneans living in the UK feel it is quite unfair that our country with lower cases than most west Africa countries, is now listed on the red list.
We feel it is also not fair that our family members cannot come and visit us, due to the ban of visitors entering from Sierra Leone

We would like parliament to look at giving a waivers to fully vaccinated people to be able to travel to Sierra Leone and into the UK, following current guidelines. The £1750 is a very expensive option for most of us who are civil servants or work within the healthcare, giving back to the nation. We have also comply with the rules and we should not be penalised, for few mishaps, caused by others.

Those who are vaccinated should have some concession, as we cannot suffer because of other people
