Close UK borders indefinitely
Rejected

What the petition asks
U.K. airports are still open for commercial flights. To slow the spread of Coronavirus, we must close UK borders indefinitely. The only thing that we need to keep the borders open to is food, medicine, medical equipment and anything deemed vital to save and preserve human life.
Follow the examples of Australia and New Zealand. Close UK borders indefinitely
