Rejected petition Change the rules on visiting hospitals for very ill patients

It is so important for people to spend precious time with family or friends that are in life threatening states, there are so many other options rather than just to stop visiting, staggered visiting, testing, isolating! People would even pay for there own tests! Family is the most important thing ever
