Rejected petition Exclude Gyms and Leisure Centers from the 2nd Lockdown and keep the UK Heathy.
Rejected on
Exclude Gyms and Leisure Centers from the 2nd UK Lockdown. Scientists have confirmed that keeping gyms open is vital to fighting COVID-19. We must keep fit and healthy to fight the virus and also to help keep mentally healthy. Closing Gyms and Leisure Centers is ridiculous and should stay open.
