Implement workplaces to be closed with 20+ people for preventing spread of COVID

What the petition asks

Implement UK workplaces to be closed with 20+ people for preventing spread of COVID19
Workplaces with more then 20 people employed can spread the virus more between each other. Example factories which works on shifts. People are changing shifts and meeting in corridors or canteens.
That's a high risk. Almost similar as travelling by public transport

Why it was rejected

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

Petitions need to call on the Government or Parliament to take a specific action.

We're not sure exactly what workplaces you'd like to be covered by this, for example hospitals and supermarkets.
