Rejected petition Do not put travel restrictions in place as part of the Welsh Government's COVID lockdown policy

The distance that people travel during a lock down has no effect on the spread of the virus. The purpose of the journey (of any distance) is the crucial thing. If people are being asked to do the right thing they should be trusted do it following a journey of 5km or 105km.
