What the petition asks
The government should inform the population that all social distancing measures, introduced in response to the COVID-19 virus, should now be lifted.
Lifting of social distancing measures will enable businesses which have found trading difficult, or impossible, to fully resume their activities. For example, pubs, restaurants, sports venues and tourist attractions will be able to fully re-open. This will provide a much-needed boost to livelihoods and job opportunities for the UK public.
