What the petition asks

The government in these tough times should not hammer down they citizens when they have already been crippled since 2019 due to the current situation. "Covid19" by using excessive force on the population via MASSIVE FINES.

The citizens are entitled to a livelihood and shutting it down due to the lockdown and then on top giving out massive hefty fines is unjust and very unfair. The lockdown fines should be assessed.
