Enforce Moderate Social Distancing to Contain & Delay Sars-Cov-2/Coronavirus

Closed 919 signatures

What the petition asks

We have seen by now thousands of global leading epidemiologists, virologists and scientific scholars discuss the efficacy of social distancing. We’re not talking lockdown yet, we’re talking everything in between. China have nearly stopped this in its tracts. We want & need action now.
Suggestions:
- Online/Video Meetings Only
- Online Classes for University’s
- Working from home for all those that can
- Mandatory Self-Isolation/Quarantine for all travellers returning from affected regions
- Cancelling of mass events
- Disinfection of public transport
- Curfew for public spaces to avoid night club spread
- Coronavirus specific units at all hospitals with entrances to avoid cross contamination
