Rejected petition End all remaining Covid-19 restrictions immediately
Rejected on
The Government should immediately remove:
- any requirements for testing and self-isolation;
- any rules based on the vaccination status;
- the PLF;
- any requirements to limit the spread of Covid;
- the right for any organisation to impose their own mask/vaccination/testing requirements.
Coronavirus restrictions have done enormous harm. Billions of hours of face to face education have been lost. People are missing contact time with loved ones and friends, fun and joy. Testing and quarantine for international travel and their high costs have kept families apart. Businesses that were the livelihood of many families have been destroyed.
Life cannot be put on hold. Children grow, adults get older. We won't get back the years that coronavirus restrictions have taken away from us.
