Review the travel policy towards South Africa

The Government should urgently review its travel policy towards South Africa to ensure it is fully aligned with the latest scientific evidence.

This petition was rejected on 21st Jun 2021 for not petitioning for a specific action

The Petition Committee commented:
Petitions need to call on the Government or Parliament to take a specific action. We're not sure exactly what you'd like the Government or Parliament to do. The Government has indicated it regularly reviews travel lists already. You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you would like the Government or Parliament to do, such as removing South Africa from the Red List.
