Stop cruise ships coming to our harbours in shetland to stop coronavirus spread

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

We are such a small island here in shetland we need to stop/delay the cruise ships, whatever it takes to help stop the spread of this coronavirus. Our hospitals cant cope. Our vulnerable cant cope. We have opened our harbours for ever we need to close them to protect us now. Reopen when it's safe.

We cam reopen when it's safe. But we are closing our schools. Telling people to work from home. Limiting gatherings. But opening our harbours and small islands to cruise ships from all over the world. We cant sustain the impact this may have. Controlling the cruise ships and their people on board, trace where everyone has been it's too much. We have over a 100 liners in every year. That's hundreds and thousands of people. Please help!
