Make it mandatory for people coming into the UK to be quarantined for 14 days.

Rejected 14 signatures

What the petition asks

The number of Coronavirus cases in other countries is currently higher than the UK. People returning or coming into the UK may make the situation in the UK worst. Measures should be taken to minimise the spread.
The Coronavirus is spreading across the world and it is the responsibility of the government and everyone to minimise the spread.

Why it was rejected

It was not clear what the petition asked the UK Government or Parliament to do.

Since you started your petition the Government has announced that everyone should stay at home to prevent the spread of coronavirus: https://www.gov.uk/coronavirus

Decisions to quarantine individuals would be a clinical decision for the NHS, not a matter for the Government or Parliament.
