Rejected 10 signatures

What the petition asks

the cases of COVID-19 is rising day by day in UK and to prevent the transmission possibly slow it down government should consider having lockdown of UK to help public survive the pandemic
I feel the NHS cannot manage as the cases rise all over UK to consider the workload and welfare all population government should lock down UK as China did. Place travel ban on all flights flying out to european countries and globally until the rise of COVID 19 cases go down. Care home should be on lock down to protect the elderly population.
