What the petition asks
The most vulnerable people have been 59+years with underlying health conditions and not just the elderly, this too needs addressing to protect those at risk. Those over 70 are usually retired and at home most of the time, those at risk and still working are more susceptible to coronavirus and death.
Why it was rejected
The UK Government or Parliament was already taking the action it asked for.
Since you started this petition the Government has written to all people with underlying health conditions that put them at high risk of coronavirus on the need to shield themselves.
