Close the United Kingdom borders during the Covid 19 crisis
Close the United Kingdom borders during the 2020 coronavirus/covid 19 crisis to all except British Citizens being repatriated. All those returning from overseas should have health checks and be subject to 14 days quarantine.
Whilst the covid 19 death rate continues to rise in the U.K. along with jobs and businesses being lost, children going without education and the NHS resources being stretched beyond the capacity, the U.K. remains one of the only countries in the world to still have fully open borders, with numerous flights each day arriving from Covid 19 hot-spots with no health checks being carried out on arrival and no quarantine conditions. It continues to put all of our lives & livelihoods at risk.
