Rejected petition Officially close the hospitality industry, so businesses can claim on insurance.

The PM has asked people to avoid pubs, clubs, bars, theatres, and other social gatherings, but has not officially asked them to close. Because of this, they are unable to claim on insurance and will undoubtedly go out of business.

More details

Not officially closing these businesses will mean they can’t claim on insurance and will not be able to survive the coming months. Thousands of companies will go bankrupt and hundreds of thousands of people will lose their jobs.
