Replace social distancing with temperature screening in cinemas and theatres.
This would make it economic for more venues to open which will benefit the economy.
If social distancing rules are not relaxed soon, the damage to the economy will shorten far more lives than the Covid-19 virus itself.
You can't sign this petition because it was rejected. But you can still comment on it here at Repetition.me!
The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
The current guidance for keeping workers and customers safe during Covid-19, including through social distancing has been published by the UK Cinema Association, not the Government or House of Commons: www.cinemauk.org.uk/coronavirus-covid-19/guidance-for-cinemas/
We also couldn't publish a petition which appeared to imply that temperature checks made social distancing unnecessary. The Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency has published advice warning that temperature screening products are not a reliable way to detect if people have the virus.
