Do not extend UK Lockdown on CoronaVirus (Covid19) from 3 months to 6 months.
Currently the Government are trying to extend the UK Lockdown from 3 months to 6 months during the CoronaVirus (Covid19) outbreak. Some people even said if this happens it will drive them insane and also that their businesses will close down as well. Please do not let this happen by signing this.
A lot of people are currently unhappy about the Government trying to extend the UK Lockdown period from 3 months to 6 months. They said it will drive them insane, destroy their freedom and also that even their businesses will collapse if this happens. So please let's try to keep that Lockdown for just 3 months instead, for the member of public's own sake.
