Delay Brexit transition to ensure COVID19 vaccine can be effectively distributed
We are heading towards a potential of a no deal Brexit. In light of recent positive news of vaccines soon becoming available and increasingly obvious hurdles we will face importing goods, Brexit (even if a deal was achieved) will inevitably hinder our aim to make the virus less dangerous.

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
The UK left the EU on 31 January 2020, and arrangements for future trade arrangements when the transitional period ends on 31 December 2020 are a matter of negotiation between the UK and EU.
We could accept a petition calling on the UK Government to seek to extend free movement of goods due to the Covid-19 outbreak, to prevent any impact on the movement of vaccines.
We have published the following related petition, which you might like to sign:
