Stop flights from countries with high COVID-19 infection rates.

What the petition asks

COVID 19 is highly contagious virus that caused the 2020 pandemic. In China, after the infection rates slowed down, it started to increase again mostly from other countries. We want to limit the spread of the virus to control the pandemic inside the UK.

The pandemic may have multiple peaks and may go into vicious loops, if the virus can still be imported into the UK from other infected hotspots.
