Return Essex from High to Medium Covid alert level

What the petition asks
The Government should remove Essex from the high alert level, and take us back to a medium level allowing more freedom for local businesses, and allowing families to see each other during this trying time.
The stats for the rise in Covid-19 cases simply do not warrant Essex being moved to a high alert level. Essex has a below average number of Covid-19 cases, yet we have still been moved to a high alert level.
