Start and accelerate border screening for Covid-19 to help with the Delay stage
The UK govt has taken a conservative and pragmatic approach with the delay initiative and lack of lock downs. We must trust our leaders to make the right decisions. However, it’s important to screen people at borders (which remain open) v depending only on people reporting their travel movements
On 4th of March, India had 29 cases and UK had 85 cases. On 15th March, India had 110 cases (2 deaths) and the UK had 1372 cases (35 deaths).
The only difference India has done is conduct screening at the borders. The difference in data is stark
To support and succeed in its approach the UK needs to start screening. This is the reason for the petition. Please support the immediate need to screen at our borders.
