What the petition asks
The country is clearly past the containment phase as we are seeing more and more community transmissions. A lockdown is now essential
If the government don't lock down the country we will see the same amount of deaths as China and Italy. should be doing what Italy are doing now, before we get to the amount of deaths and infections they have now. All places of work and education should be closed down immediately, only emergency services should be running!
