Petition Action

Stop international flights arriving in the UK during the coronavirus epidemic.

Petition Details

Make a Government announcement that all flights into the UK should be cancelled forthwith.

To stop further spread of the coronavirus brought in by people from other countries. Passengers may not be showing symptoms but while UK medical experts tell us that people could be carriers with no symptoms, it is foolhardy and dangerous to allow this to continue.
