The abolition of 14-day quarantine upon arrival to the UK · petition

What the petition asks

The abolition of 14-day quarantine upon arrival to the UK. When it will be cancelled I and other people will be able to meet their families

Few days ago a lot of people decided to go to Poland because Polish government cancelled quarantine for people which are key workers, working or studying in UK and now we read document on gov.uk about 14 days quarantine upon arrival to the UK from 8 June. It is really sad information for us because we can't back home and meet our families, also we need to go home and get things done such as matters regarding documents and our health.
