Petition Action

Enforce Covid-19 screening of passengers at London Heathrow airport

Petition Details

London Heathrow is one of the UK airports to remain open amidst Covid-19.

In attempt to get stranded Brits home, London Heathrow has now become a hub for transmission of Covid-19 - with lack of safeguarding for workers, other passengers and the general public.

Additional Information

Public enforcements are in place to encourage people to stay indoors, limit interactions and only leave the house for necessities, 1 form of exercise and work - only if unable to do so from home. However, Airlines are still operating from London Heathrow Airport daily.

LHR needs to enforce screening of passengers embarking and disembarking flights to and from the UK, in aid to help prevent further spread of the virus.

Please join me in signing this petition to further protect us from Covid-19.
