What the petition asks
Do not change the Government slogan regarding 'Stay at Home, Save Lives' to 'Stay Alert, Control the Virus, Save Lives'
Reinstate the original slogan.
Reinstate the original slogan.
The new 'Stay Alert' slogan is unclear guidance.
Even if lockdown restrictions begin to ease and more people are allowed to return to work; it's vital that people still remain at home if they can.
'Stay Alert' can be interpreted in a multitude of different ways whereas 'Stay at Home' is a clear message that can only be interpreted one way.
'Stay Alert' could potentially allow people to feel too relaxed regarding the pandemic, socialise and allow for viral spread.
