Do not compromise the lockdown rules for Christmas

Closed 329 signatures

What the petition asks

The Prime Minister has mentioned the consideration of lifting lockdown "rule of six" for Christmas, where households can have more than 6 people visiting. This is unfair towards other religious events that non-Christians celebrate and who have had to adhere to the rules.
By not compromising lockdown rules will minimise the increase of Covid19 virus. The government has a duty of care to ensure that they continue to maintain safe practise to help fight the virus. Lifting the "rule of 6" for Christmas could increase the spread of Covid19 virus.
