Allow family members with a covid pass to visit dying relatives in hospitals.

Bars, night clubs, and other bigger events, are arguably much “higher risk” than visiting relatives in hospitals. Given the visitor has a covid pass and/or a negative lateral flow test, these conditions allow us to attend high risk events; we should be able to say good bye to dying loved ones too.

Petitions must call for a specific action that the UK Government or Parliament are directly responsible for.

We can accept petitions calling for changes to restrictions on visitors where these have been set by the Government, but there are currently no restrictions in England on visiting hospitals, although the Government has recommended that visitors and outpatients to hospital settings should wear a form of face covering, to prevent the spread of infection from the wearer: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/wuhan-novel-coronavirus-infection-prevention-and-control/new-government-recommendations-for-england-nhs-hospital-trusts-and-private-hospital-providers

Decisions about visiting, within national rules, are a matter for individual hospitals, not the Government or Parliament. As a result it is not possible for the Government or Parliament to take the action you have requested.
