What the petition asks
Allow couples to see each other indoors at each other’s homes in all 3 tiers. It is crucial for mental health reasons, keeping a healthy relationship and for those who struggle on their own or with the people that they live with.
It is crucial for mental health reasons, keeping a healthy relationship and for those who struggle on their own or with the people that they live with. It is also important to keep the physical contact for people as it can lead to further issues such as loneliness which can lead to depression. Also for couples who are expecting but don’t live with each other it will be hard for parents to keep a bond which may lead to more single parents.
