Stop quarantine for non-UK visitors and UK residents.

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

We don't want the government to introduce quarantine in the UK. Quarantine should be introduced in March,when it was very hard,not now, when everything is back to normal. Most of us have a family living outside the UK that we want to visit during the holidays after a long stay at home and isolation.
Nobody wants to be locked in the house without any symptoms for 2 weeks quarantine.
