To reduce the spread of Covid-19, ask those who can to work from home.

What the petition asks

To reduce the spread of Covid-19, ask those who can to work from home. This should include anyone who is able to work from home with minimal or only minor disruption.

Delays around the globe in the 'delay' phase are costing lives, and accelerating the unnecessary spread of the virus. Social-distancing is improving the situation in China and is being praised by the WHO as a step being taken in Italy. Together individuals taking responsible action will help beat coronavirus.
