Close schools, colleges and universities during the new England lockdown.

Rejected 15 signatures

What the petition asks

I would like to appeal for petition that close all the school during the new England lockdown. My sincere intention is to protect all citizens.
Behind a child is a whole family. If any child is unfortunately infected, his or her whole family is at high risk of being infected by covid 19. Schools, colleges and univisites are as crowded as restaurants and shopping malls, where protective measures are not sufficient and adequate at all. Furthermore, students have the largest percentage being tested positive during this pandemic.
