This petition was rejected

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:

Since you started your petition the Government has already sent a letter about coronavirus to every home. You could start a new petition calling on the Government to only communicate via electronic means during the coronavirus outbreak, because of the potential risks of letters.

You can find out more about coronavirus and how you can protect yourself and others here:

The Government has also created an online service to help you out what you can do if you’re struggling because of coronavirus: www.gov.uk/find-coronavirus-support

You may also be interested to know that because of the large number of petitions that have been started in relation to coronavirus, the Petitions Committee has been questioning the Government about its response to the coronavirus outbreak.
