Close all schools for children with key workers and with high level of needs.

As advised by the government,schools should remain open only for the children of key workers and children with a high level of need. How are we going to combat this virus if the government is still promoting non essential socializing. Schools should be closed for all to avoid putting others at risk.

We're not sure what action you want the Government to take. Your petition states that schools should remain open only for the children of key workers and children with a high level of need, but also states that schools should be closed for all.

The Government has stated that schools, and all childcare providers, are being asked to continue to provide care for a limited number of children - children who are vulnerable, and children whose parents are critical to the coronavirus (COVID-19) response and cannot be safely cared for at home: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/covid-19-school-closures/guidance-for-schools-about-temporarily-closing
