Repatriate UK citizens in countries that are in lockdown because of Covid-19
Many UK citizens on holiday are stranded all over the world as flights are cancelled and countries are in lockdown. We urge the government to help these citizens to get back safely by organising rescue flights.
The government has a duty of care to its citizens. Many are stranded, not able to leave their hotel rooms, and have no way of coming home. The government needs to help them get back, just as the French and German governments have done.
