Close Our UK Airports

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

Stop the spread of Coronavirus by stopping flights. Social distancing is impossible. Passengers and crew are at risk of infecting one another. Crew are potentially nursing infected passengers with little or no protection. It's time for the UK to do this now.

It is the responsible thing to do for the people of the country. Stop continuing to spread this disease by bringing it back into the UK, only for an already overstretched NHS to have to deal with more patients
