Change the Lockdown Rules for the Hospitality Sector!

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

The Parliament have to take in to consideration the snowball factor that the lockdown is creating for the hospitality, not only for the restaurants, pubs, hotels and so on, but also for all the suppliers, the consultants, the recruitment, all the people involved and the loss of income.
The Hospitality Sector employ over 4 million people in the United Kingdom. With the actual rules, most of the businesses involved with those different types of lockdown will have to close for good. This will causing millions of people to loose their jobs! In the hospitality sector, plenty of measure to keep the spread of the virus have been taken, measures that the government imposed in the first place. Less than 5% of the actual cases are caused by the Hospitality industry.
