Make the UK go into full phase of Covid-19 school shutdown phase.

Rejected 10 signatures

What the petition asks

Shutting down schools is important as the “older generation” are more vulnerable. Covid-19 is a threat to our country as well as others. We are the only country that hasn’t fully closed down all schools.

Because Covid-19 is a massive threat to our country, and we are the only ones that have done nothing about it, only some partial closures. But now, it is starting to get more serious, so we might need to take this more seriously.

Why it was rejected

The UK Government or Parliament was already taking the action it asked for.
