Rejected petition Allow Community Choirs to sing again
Rejected on
During the last 14 months amateur choral music has virtually died. On 17th May it appeared that we had the go-ahead to restart and some did. On 18th May new guidance came out from DCMS saying no more than 6 people can meet to sing indoors regardless of all Covid mitigations and full vaccination.
It is unfair to allow sporting activities to take place, shops and pubs to be open and all other amateur activity to take place but not singing. Explain the actual risk to fully vaccinated people adhering to social distancing guidelines.
