What the petition asks
Cancel a return to school until September 2020.
It is far too soon with the amount of deaths still happening and no vaccine as yet. Sending children to school means mixing different households, all it takes is for one child to have the virus and the spread of the virus starts again. We have the highest deaths in Europe, it is far too soon, my best interest is my children and I think it's still not safe to do so.
What about all those key workers who have contact with lots of people throughout the day then go home to their families?
