Repeal Covid-19 Restrictions on opening hours

What the petition asks
Remove the restrictions of operating hours between 10pm and 5am for business such as bars, pubs, cinemas and restaurants, because Covid-19 can still be transmitted outside of these times.
How is it possible for the government to affect such a large amount of people's jobs by destroying the bar and pub industry. This won't stop transmission but will destroy these sectors.
I propose that this restriction be lifted or local business affected be supported financially. Why can't we operate only between those hours.
