Therefore, the risk of catching COVID is low.\r\n\r\nWe urge the government to review the above evidence amongst other available evidence, and conclude whether this restriction should still be in place, even if fathers are 2 metres apart and wearing face masks","state":"rejected","signature_count":6,"created_at":"2021-02-06T19:38:22.829Z","updated_at":"2021-02-08T11:30:30.568Z","rejected_at":"2021-02-08T11:30:30.570Z","opened_at":null,"closed_at":null,"moderation_threshold_reached_at":"2021-02-06T21:39:56.668Z","response_threshold_reached_at":null,"ministers_response_at":null,"debate_threshold_reached_at":null,"scheduled_debate_date":null,"debate_outcome_at":null,"creator_name":null,"rejection":{"code":"duplicate","details":"Please see the petition already live titled: \"Allow companions to Ante-natal Scans.\""},"ministers_reponse":null,"debate":null}}}
