Flights from Sharm El Sheikh should be in the no quarantine corridor

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

Allow flights from Sharm El Sheikh to be exempt from the current quarantine rules
Sharm has been isolated from Covid and has had very few cases. There are many UK citizens who are resident that would like to travel to see family and many tourists who would like a holiday in a resort that has abided by WHO guidelines on cleanliness and distancing. Sharm el sheikh is safer than many European destinations that have received corridor status.
