What the petition asks
Keep all education settings closed until the covid alert level is at level 2.
To protect our nation’s children and young people and don’t put them at unnecessary risk. We should not be re opening for children so their parents can go back for non essential work, children can not social distance they dont understand, no matter what is going to be put into place. All these factors could course a second unnecessary spike.
