Start screening every person who enters UK for Coronavirus

Closed 736 signatures

What the petition asks

Why is there no screening for Coronavirus at the UK airports? There are other countries doing this in order to stop the spread. I strongly believe that this should be done as a matter of urgency to stop further spread into UK. The queues may be long but atleast we can identify and stop the spread
