Close construction site to help reduce the spread of covid19. Help self employed

What the petition asks
To close all non essential construction sites, only have emergency builds and essential sites open.
Working on a construction site, it’s almost impossible to keep 2 meters. There are over 200+ personnel working on a site currently that I’m working on, and there is no safe guarding what so ever. These big companies are now trying to get us to change our method statements, to include the covid-19 measures, so the blame fulls on us and not them, who are not making sure their sites are safe. If we don’t they are trying to fine us as small companies, risking our health and businesses
