Rejected petition Make Face Coverings Optional In Enclosed Places.

Make Face Coverings Optional rather than mandatory so that people with disabilities don't feel like there in the wrong and getting criticism from other citizens when they are legally exempt.

More details

Because I feel like the government are forcing the public into wearing something that isn't backed by any science and is unhygienic (depending on length of time). And also singles out exempt people causing them to get funny looks or bullied while doing there weekly shop. I don't think it is right by forcing people to wear them.
