Close UK borders to people until the covid-19 pandemic is gone
The UK needs to stop all people coming to the UK by plane or boat.
We cannot battle covid-19 if we are constantly receiving people from other countries who might be bringing the deadly disease with them.
According to the news, thousands of passengers from Italy, China and Iran arrived in Britain this week (middle April 2020). Also flights from Rome, Beijing and Shanghai have landed in London every day. This is a huge risk to the citizens of the UK. All these people could be carriers of the deadly covid-19 even without having symptoms yet.
