Complete UK lockdown of all business but those essential to our survival

Closed 198 signatures

What the petition asks

The government to enforce full lockdown of the UK, pubs, restaurants and bars are all closed however there are still people working in factories and offices who are likely to spread the disease.
Unless full lockdown of all businesses is achieved the virus will continue to spread. It is vital that all businesses are closed apart from those critical to the survival of our country. The government should produce a list of businesses to stay open and the rest would be on lockdown. Pause the country for a month and enforce it.
