Rejected petition Lower the age and implement lockdown for those over 60

Implement lockdown in the UK for those 60 years and above

More details

Many parents are in their 60’s and should still be considered as vulnerable amid this crisis. Health issues emerge for many individuals around their mid 50’s and onwards. It seems counterintuitive to not implement lockdown for these people, as they are the members of society who contribute to the economy, travel to work and have the responsibility to look after the household.
