Put India back on the red list.

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

India needs to go back on the red list. We already made this mistake before by not putting them on the red list earlier. Changing the name of the variant doesn't change where it came from.
We have just started seeing a decline in cases here, putting India on the Amber list means people coming from there won't be required to quarantine. This is going to cause another surge in cases, those of us who have lost family members do not want to take this risk again.
