Rejected petition Abolish all COVID-status certification in the United Kingdom

We want the Government to abolish domestic and international COVID-status certification.

Due to high vaccination & booster uptake, continued relaxation of restrictions, and fast approaching endemicity of coronavirus, it is neither right nor proportionate to continue certification in Britain.

More details

COVID certification is one of the most contentious issues Britain has faced since Brexit.

Serious legal & ethical considerations remain if it were to remain domestically & part of our border policy, especially with regard to the Human Rights Act (1998), Equalities Act (2010) & Public Health Act (1984) and International Health Regulations (2005).

As cases, hospitalisation, and mortality rates continue to plummet. Covid certification is no longer a necessary or useful tool for public health.

This petition was rejected

Why was this petition rejected?

It’s about something that the UK Government or Parliament is not directly responsible for.

The UK Government and Parliament aren't responsible for covid status requirements for international travel from the UK, so are not able to remove this requirement.
