Why it was rejected

It was not clear what the petition asked the UK Government or Parliament to do.

Since you started your petition the Government has advised against unnecessary social contact, withdrawn support for mass gatherings, and advised against all but essential travel overseas: https://www.gov.uk/government/speeches/pm-statement-on-coronavirus-16-march-2020

We have also published a petition calling on the Government to implement a UK lockdown for preventing spread of COVID19, which you might like to sign: Implement UK lockdown for preventing spread of COVID19
