Allow the wearing of face coverings in schools.

Rejected 10 signatures

What the petition asks

Government advice is to NOT wear face masks/coverings in a school setting. Schools are even prohibiting their use. As an 'at risk' family we would like to reserve the right for our children to wear a protective face covering as scientists latest discovery that Covid-19 may well also be airborne.

WE should be able to make decisions on the health and wellbeing of our family. Children are to wear masks on school bus but told to remove them in classrooms
From WHO.... Experimental studies have generated aerosols of infectious samples using high-powered jet nebulizers under controlled laboratory conditions. These studies found SARS-CoV-2 virus RNA in air samples within aerosols for up to 3 hours in one study (21) and 16 hours in another, which also found viable replication-competent virus.
