Remove UK strict travel requirements for people who recovered from Covid

Rejected 13 signatures

What the petition asks

A new status/category urge to be recognised in UK (as already recognised in Europe) for those who recovered from Covid. These poeple have to be treated, with regard to travel requirements, like vaccinated people with no long quarentine nor day 2/8 pcr.
Because scientific evidence shows that people who recovered from Covid cannot catch the virus again for at least 6 months. This makes them safer than vaccinated people who never caught Covid because the vaccine doesn't exclude the chances of getting infected. In Europe, people recovered from. Covid, are treated like vaccinated, can hold a green pass for domestic use and travels, undergoing same restrictions in place for vaccinated
