Make the socialising restrictions enforceable instead of implementing a curfew
Please do not ban the daily exercise for law abiding citizens, instead require citizens to carry a self written paper with address, date and time, so that the police can enforce the law. If exercise is banned, then everyone will be deprived of fresh air, exercise and access to natural vitamin D.
Having seen Matt Hancock's threat in the BBC, I wanted to highlight the following issues:
1: This punishes law abiding citizens, whilst provide no solution for dealing with the violation. (As those who are ignorant will just continue being so)
2: Those of us who doesn't have supplements or a garden will be deprived of exercise, fresh air and access to free vitamin D. These are critical things for a functioning immune system. Make the current restrictions enforceable instead.
