What the petition asks
Many people are mentally affected when physical training is not a part of their daily routine. It opens doors for depression. We would like to request that the whole country be allowed to continue our activities with the required restrictions.. But we cant do without sport at all. That is torture
The 1st lockdown caused alot of depression.. Many people found it hard to get back to work after all those months of being stationary. We just want to avoid that. The human body needs to be active
