Petition Action

Stop hugging and personal contact. Increase social distancing.

Petition Details

Stop encroaching on personal space. The lockdown experience has been wonderful for the majority of introverts and those that simply do not want to be hugged, touched or have contact in any way

Additional Information

Stop hugging, increase social distancing and legislate for the personal space of individuals to be a minimum 5 metres.
This should become the norm- the usual and the accepted stance that people simply don’t have the right to open their arms and try and embrace you at the drop of a hat.

This petition was rejected

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:

Petitions need to call on the Government or Parliament to take a specific action.

We understand that you are concerned about unwanted contact, but we're not sure exactly what you'd like the Government or Parliament to do. For example, your petition calls for a personal space of 5 metres to be protected by statute, but it's not clear what this would mean in practice.

You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you would like the Government or Parliament to do.
