Keep arts and fitness clubs open and exempt from month-long lockdown

Rejected 10 signatures

What the petition asks

Exempt clubs such as dance,musical theatre,martial arts,gymnastics(and other activities of this category:arts and fitness) from month-long lockdown where social distancing is available.

Social distancing is enforced,rooms are well-ventilated and masks are often worn throughout the activities performed.There hasn't been much transmission from these extracurricular activities so far and absolutely none in my local area.Everything is wiped down and hands are sanitised from room to room.Hence these clubs are much safer than schools,especially as the numbers involved are much lower.
These clubs contribute to the people's mental well-being and supports businesses in the industry.

Why it was rejected

It was not clear what the petition asked the UK Government or Parliament to do.

Petitions need to call on the Government or Parliament to take a specific action. We're not sure exactly what you'd like the Government or Parliament to do.

Since you started your petition, the national lockdown has ended. You could start a new petition calling for changes to the current tiered restrictions, if that's what you'd like to see happen.
