Keep 1-1 Socialising Rule to help with Mental Health and Well-being

Rejected 12 signatures

What the petition asks

The 1-1 Social Exercise rule is really important during this time for people that suffer with Mental Health and is important Well-Being. This rule is vital for those who need a little social interaction during this time and rules need to be clarified on what we can and can’t do.
It will really help if this rule is kept as it will help people suffering from anxiety and depression who need support and help.

Yes there is a lot of resources, can call people and video calls. But is not the same and continuously being stuck indoors is not healthy.

More clarity is needed on this rule before it is taken away. Lots can be done to ensure this rule is effective. Can we have more clarity to help raise awareness and not have this rule taken away?
