Bring back british nationals stranded abroad during the pandemic
Bring back all British citizens that are currently stranded in foreign countries. With priorities being the important NHS staff and our vulnerable people. This will allow us to better combat the Virus and prevent any unnecessary fatalities.
There are many key NHS workers that are currently trapped abroad. These workers will be crucial to fighting the Covid 19 outbreak. On top of this there are vulnerable British citizens trapped in countries that do not have the same resources and medical knowledge that is available back in Britain. This could lead to a number of fatalities of UK residents and potentially our important and skilled key workers, overseas that do not need to happen.
