Officially close down pubs, clubs and restaurants along with schools and college

Rejected 12 signatures

What the petition asks

Boris Johnson has advised everyone not to attend events and to stop going into pubs, clubs and restaurants.

Without officially calling for the closure of the hospitality industries, landlords and owners cannot close down their pubs and claim from their insurance.

It's down to the government to order a closure of these business while the COVID-19 pandemic is ongoing and getting worse. Without calling for an official closure, it will cause bankruptcy and massive losses for the hospitality industry. These owners cannot close their pubs and restaurants without a proper closure order and also puts these people and customers who are unwilling to isolate at more risk.
