UK public to be provided with daily location updates regarding Covid19 spread.
Rejected
21 signatures
What the petition asks
Publish live location data when new cases are confirmed for ultimate transparency. Without this data being made available daily the UK - civil unrest potential is higher, panic increase can be expected and the UK public loses government trust.
Provide daily location updates for Covid19. Publish an online map visually displaying confirmed cases. Increase public awareness via daily news, media and marketing strategies.
