Covid Emergency - Act now and announce a nation-wide 'circuit breaker'.

Petition Details

Covid-19, the second wave: The government has to act now and announce a nation-wide 'circuit breaker' in order to reduce the spread of the virus and avoid catastrophic consequences over the next few months. It is important to impose the lockdown as soon as possible, every day counts.

Additional Information

It is crystal clear, the numbers are raising everywhere in the UK. The R number is well above 1, we have to act now in order to prevent an exponential rise in cases and deaths.
The Government must not repeat the mistakes from the first wave. No more delays, half-hearted action and postponed decisions. The three-tier lockdown system is clearly not working.
We need a 3-4 weeks national circuit-breaker, financial support for the economy and clear guidance. It is actually quite easy, we just have to do it. Let's do it.
