Restart EPL from 0 points for the remainder 9 games after Coronavirus suspension

Rejected 12 signatures

What the petition asks

In light of the EPL suspending all games until at least 3rd April, and the fact that a number of Premiership clubs player may have been playing games with the Coronavirus, explaining the poor form of all the teams, I feel it is only right to restart the league for remaining 9 games with zero points
I would like the Government to liaise with the EPL and FA and agree to restarting the Premiership once the ban has been lifted. This will make it fair for all the teams that have been playing without knowing their players have Coronavirus

Why it was rejected
