Rejected petition Let parents watch their childrens sports day
Change regulations to allow parents to watch their childrens sports day.
This week we've witnessed group gatherings at events such as royal ascot this week, football matches etc.
Surely parents / teachers, the majority whom have been vaccinated can watch their children, OUTSIDE at sports day??
More details
Be clearer in their current regulations.
I want medical proof & evidence that schools / children / teachers and parents would be at higher risk of contracting covid in a controlled environment like a school sports day than me going to another similar outdoor event or even shopping in my local supermarket!?
