Rejected petition Implement tighter lockdown restrictions to help fight Covid-19.

Covid-19 infection rates and deaths continue to rise. Hospital admissions are spiralling out of control and the NHS cannot continue on this trajectory. Too many people are still meeting outside and non-essential stores are open. Flights continue to run increasing the risk of infection spread.

More details

Close all non-essential stores e.g. cafes
Implement stricter enforcement of lockdown rules.
Close borders with other countries - only allow British citizens back to the UK and even then, implement a isolation period.
