Closed Ban all protests during the Covid-19 pandemic

Closed on

I would like the Government to remove the exemptions allowing some protests during the Covid-19 pandemic, so that all such public gatherings are banned. Too many people are getting the virus, and I believe this measure could help prevent the spread of Covid-19.

Public gatherings including protests increase the risk of transmission, which can affect both protestors and those they subsequently come into contact with. All protests should therefore be banned for the duration of the pandemic.
