Extend any easing of Covid-19 restrictions for Christmas to all religious events

Closed 95 signatures

What the petition asks

If the Government relaxes the rule of 6 for Christmas during this Covid period then they need to relax the rule of 6 for other faiths for celebrations like Navratri, Diwali, eid, Vaisakhi etc.
Only relaxing the rule of 6 for Christmas would discriminate against people of other religions and faith.

If the rule of 6 is eased for Christmas it should be eased for all religious events. Treat everyone equally. If the rule of 6 is not relax for the religious events of other faiths then it should not be done for Christmas day.
