Rejected petition Exclude children under the age of eleven, from all social gathering restrictions

Children under the age of 11 are already exempt from wearing face coverings due to the risk being low. Therefore all dependant children should be excluded from the numbers for social gatherings. This should also include any children with a statemented disability.

More details

As children under 11 pose a pose a low risk of transmitting Covid19 the social gathering limit of 6 should only apply adults.

All dependant children should not be counted in the numbers for social gatherings as so that children can still have the opportunity to socialise and to ensure the protection of children's civil liberties.
