Rejected petition Allow couples to form a support bubble with eachother throughout the pandemic.

Mental health weights very heavy on couples who are unable to be together due to restrictions. It is important that we all adhere to new laws to help stop the spread of Covid-19 and so should be measures in place to allow certain couples who do not live together to form thier own support bubbles.

More details

These measures could include but are not subjected to:

Couples who have been in an established relationship for at least a year.

Live no more than 15 miles away.

Both partners must be over the age of 18.

If living with parents/family must have permission and signed approval of homeowner/s.

Have to submit a signed form/contract to be reviewed and accepted by law in order to be eligible to form a support bubble (this would have to be the only support bubble between households)
