What the petition asks
Remove the Dominican Republic from the Red List countries to allow Dominicans and relatives to visit family in the DR without having to quarantine.
As of 27/8/21, daily confirmed cases per million people in DR are 25.2 vs 499.5 (almost 20x) in the UK (https://ourworldindata.org/covid-cases)

According to GISAID (Tracking of Variants) only 1 Delta variant has been recorded in DR vs 257,322 only in England. Almost 42% of DR population is fully vaccinated vs 25% of Australia (Green) or nearly 5% of Jamaica (Amber).
Most DR data is (favourably) comparable with Green/Amber light countries like Germany, Canada, Switzerland, Spain, USA and Australia, then why deny taxpayers citizens and residents their right to visit their families in Dominican Republic?
