Debate the impact of a 'one size fits all' Covid decision making process.

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

The latest implementation of restrictions to people's lives begins on Monday 14th of September.As the government is applying a 'one size fits all' approach, a disproportionate number of people will be affected where there are inappreciable numbers of cases.Local lockdowns would be more appropriate.

Lives and livelihoods are currently on hold and this will only become worse as of the 14th of September.The human spirit thrives on hope and being able to look forwards.This requires clear communication and effective and efficient decision making by all.
Implementing local lockdowns in a timely manner,may be more effective and minimises the risk of nationwide mayhem and distress.
A positive approach must now be taken to reassure the public rather than induce more fear and anxiety.

Why it was rejected

The UK Government or Parliament was already taking the action it asked for.

On 12 October the Government announced new local Covid alert levels which means that Covid-19 restrictions will vary depending on the alert level of a local area: https://www.gov.uk/government/news/prime-minister-announces-new-local-covid-alert-levels

If you would like the Government to change how this new system works, we could accept a new petition requesting changes to this system.
