Exempt family and partners from Covid-19 restrictions on household mixing

Closed 214 signatures

What the petition asks

The Government should change the rules for Covid-19 restrictions in high and very high alert areas to exempt family members and partners, including boyfriends and girlfriends, from rules on household mixing.
I want this to change because of the lack of thought towards relationships of people who are not living together, and the impact restrictions on these relationships are having on people, including to their mental health.
