Enforce stricter fines for socialising and not complying with the rules set
£200 fine if caught socialising with non house members. Key workers must be in uniform or have ID and anyone caught in the parks, beach or towns socialising fined £1000. Exercising and walking to be done within 2miles of there place of residence. Collecting/delivering must remaine 2m distance.
We need to enforce stricter rules and acutely fine people for not doing it. People are dieing and families still insist on socialising and gathering even with the information on Covid-19. The sooner we all stay in the sooner this virus can be dealt with. Act now before the human race is extinct.

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
The Government is responsible for setting regulations in relation to the coronavirus lockdown, and associated penalties, but enforcing these is a matter for the police and courts, not the Government or House of Commons.
Since you started your petition the Government has increased the penalties for breaking the law or refusing to follow a police direction: www.gov.uk/government/publications/coronavirus-outbreak-faqs-what-you-can-and-cant-do/coronavirus-outbreak-faqs-what-you-can-and-cant-do#enforcement
We have also published a petition calling on the Government to increase fines for breaking Covid-19 regulations to £1000 for first offence, which you might like to sign: petition.parliament.uk/petitions/320026
If you still want the Government to make other changes to the rules relating to social distancing, you could start a new petition requesting this.
