What the petition asks
The current travel ban the USA imposed upon the UK has gone on far too long without any update. We the people require action. The Government should work with the USA to enable travel between our two countries, as they have with India, with protective measures, such as test on arrival & departure.
Family, partners and loved ones who are not married have been separated for too long. This is taking a massive toll on the mental health of citizens of both countries. Action needs to be taken now. We believe the ban is no longer needed as protections can reduce risk. As a UK citizen I implore my government to aid those suffering because #LoveIsNotTourism. My girlfriend lives in Illinois. Help us, help all of us. Take the first step in negotiations.
