Close The Borders

I think all borders should be closed for at least 4 weeks stopping anyone being allowed into the country whether they originally stay here or not

Why the contribution is important

We don't know if people coming back are carrying this virus and infecting others

Totally pointless now, bit like shutting the stable door after the horse has already bolted , maybe would have worked at the beginning but no use now the virus is already here

We cannot close the borders without cutting off our food supplies and many medicines.

Bad idea and probably unworkable - borders never seem a good way to tackle problems

Without being racist the last thing Scotland needs is people flocking to the Highlands and Islands from English hotspots to stay in holiday homes and campsites, this would only accelerate the need for another lockdown

Thi isn’t supported by epidemiologists, robust testing of people entering might be more feasible. Also what happens when borders re open?

Disagree.

However, testing needs to be increased at points of entry.
