Circulate masks with clear mouth covers for deaf people who lipread

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

To give us all masks with clear mouth pieces attached so deaf people can still communicate by lip reading others

Because my nan is completely deaf and relies on lip reading and has been too scared to go out as shes worried how she will communicate with others who are wearing masks as she wont be able to lip read them
