Extend shielding until further notice

Closed 3,213 signatures

What the petition asks

Shielding should be extended until further notice to ensure the safety of the public and the safety of those at extremely high risk. Many places have had a second wave and the UK should do everything in their power to help prevent this from happening.
Even though the amount of cases has dropped we need to continue the shielding to protect everyone and help stop another wave happening. Lockdown and shielding has ended too soon in some places as we've discovered with countries such as South Korea, India, and now America is starting to too.
