What the petition asks
Just until Covid levels are low and falling, keep this restriction in place. Imagine you are scared of Covid; you can avoid pubs, museums, etc, but you need food, and you have to get to work. Shouldn't the Government provide this bit of reassurance for a little while longer?
Face coverings protect others from you; they provide little protection to you from other people.
