What the petition asks
I find this 14 day period to be irrational, Revoking the 14 day period of self-isolation on travel passengers will allow, more income into the United Kingdom from traveling, also it shall prevent businesses such as hotels and/or airlines from suffering great financial loss or bankruptcy.In addition,
allowing a group of individuals such as,
Road haulage and freight workers
Medical officials who are traveling to help fight coronavirus
Anyone arriving from the Republic of Ireland, the Channel Islands, or the Isle of Man
Seasonal agricultural workers.
would not stop the spread of the virus as there are millions of people occupying those professions of standings and like other members of society they are at risk of also contracting and spreading the virus, like the rest of us. REVOKE THE BAN.
