Let’s get South Africa removed from the UK's Red List! 😷🚫🙏
After a recent update, we are very disappointed to see that SA - and most African countries - remain on the UK’s Travel Red List. Not only does this make travelling to South Africa extremely difficult (and costly as you have to pay for quarantine upon re-entry), but the decision to keep SA on the list has been made without a shred of scientific basis.
Please help us to get South Africa off the Red List by signing this petition: https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/589382 to have the issue discussed in Parliament. It can only be signed by British Citizens or UK residents .
Here are some additional facts:
- SA has less new Covid infections per million people (under 100) than the UK (500), and less than most EU countries
- New infections have halved in the last two weeks and continue its downward trend
- Keeping SA on the Red List is having a devastating effect on the country’s travel industry, and leading to large amounts of job losses and company closures
- More than 15m people in SA have been vaccinated to date, nearly 50% of the adult population, and the scheme continues strongly
- Up to 80% of South Africans may have already been infected with Covid-19, leading to a natural “herd immunity”
Germany , France , the Netherlands , Switzerland , the US China and many other countries have all reopened travel to South Africa. The UK however is not following its own conditions by putting South Africa on its Amber list even though it meets the criteria. We cannot wait to welcome our guests from the UK back to our sunny shores, especially with summer approaching. Thank you for taking 2mins to help us with this important issue.
