Fully & partially vaccinated people coming from Nigeria to self isolate at home.

What the petition asks

To lift Nigeria from the red list - The Nigeria Centre for Disease Control, NCDC, 2/12/21 confirmed the first 3 cases of Omicron variant of COVID-19 in Nigeria.

The essential aim is to help the population with getting vaccinated, to keep individuals safe and for a better outcome - why are innocent people being mislead because this sends a message that being vaccinated is not effective at all. This could pull out others from taking the necessary action to be vaccinated. There has not been a death identified with Omicron in Nigeria. Nigeria has had 3 affirmed cases so how can drastic measures be made based on minimum cross-examinations and accurate evidence. Fully and partially vaccinated individuals ought to be permitted to travel as long as they adhere to self isolation.
