The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
Petitions need to call on the Government or Parliament to take a specific action.
We're not sure exactly what you'd like the Government or Parliament to do. Age discrimination is already illegal. You can find out more here: www.gov.uk/discrimination-your-rights
You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you would like the Government or Parliament to do.
The NHS, not the Government or House of Commons, is responsible for determining who is at a higher risk from coronavirus. The NHS has stated that people who are 70 or older are at moderate risk, and clinically vulnerable: www.nhs.uk/conditions/coronavirus-covid-19/people-at-higher-risk-from-coronavirus/whos-at-higher-risk-from-coronavirus/
The Government’s advice on social distancing advises people who are clinically vulnerable to stay at home as much as possible, but there are no regulations or laws that apply to 70 year olds differently to other age groups.
