Rejected petition Rule out any more Firebreak Lockdowns without providing scientific evidence.
With the news that the hospitality sector will face massive restrictions causing hundreds of businesses to close, the effectiveness of firebreak lockdowns must be debated.
No more than two weeks had passed since the firebreak and we are already seeing massive restrictions being created.
The R rate in Wales is far higher than England, so would it not be better for a tiered UK Wide approach?
This petition calls on the Welsh Parliament to debate this matter urgently.
Why was this petition rejected?
