Make children under 12 exempt from the Rule of Six.
The recent Rule of Six rightly try’s to limit the spread of COVID but for families with 3 or more children even meeting the Grandparents becomes impossible. The Government should mirror the Scottish Government and make children under 12 exempt from this rule.
Children and parents have already been subject to a lack of social contact with friends and family. Families with 2 or less children still have the ability to meet others, why not families with more children. The mental cost of this on children and parents is likely far greater than the risk of catching COVID.
