Uk Parliament to physically sit in westminster before schools to fully reopen

Parliament should accept the risk of coronavirus and large groups of people themselves before schools return. They say children are less susceptible but don't focus on the risks posed to staff.

Since you started your petition the House of Commons has returned, and rules allowing all Members to participate in proceedings virtually have fallen. The House of Commons has agreed that Members who are unable to attend Westminster for medical or public health reasons related to the pandemic can attend proceedings virtually.

We have published the following petitions, which you might like to sign:

Keep schools closed until Covid 19 is no longer a threat: Keep schools closed until Covid 19 is no longer a threat

Delay the reopening of schools to September: Delay the reopening of schools to September

Keep schools closed in the UK until an effective Cov-19 vaccine is available: Keep schools closed in the UK until an effective Cov-19 vaccine is available.
