Remove all African countries from the red list immediately

What the petition asks
Since travel restrictions have been imposed on travellers entering the UK from several African countries, a number of cases of transmission of the Omicron variant, not linked to travel to South Africa, have been identified.
We believe the travel restrictions are not justified by the evidence, especially when the only countries on the red list are African, when cases of the Omicron variant have been identified in several other countries.
