Close borders and forbid entry to the UK to prevent the spread of new variants.
New Zealand and Australia are keeping cases low through strict border control, not allowing people in to their country.
Meanwhile in the UK, despite being under a strict stay-at-home lockdown, our borders appear wide open.
The government has been closing the borders to certain routes, such as South Africa and more recently Brazil; but these happen almost too late, once the new strain is actually present in the UK.
We need to take action now and close our borders, allowing the UK citizens to stay at home and control the virus.
What’s the point in our nations staying indoors when keeping the borders open is jeopardising us all.
Close our borders unless reason for entry is extremely exceptional, such as freight.
