Allow pubs and restaurants to operate without COVID-19 restrictions

What the petition asks
The government should allow all pubs and restaurants to operate normally, and without any COVID-19-related restrictions.
As going to a pub or restaurant is a voluntary activity, there is no justification for keeping them shut or imposing any COVID-19-related restrictions on them. The public should be allowed to assess any risks involved and make their own judgement.
