Close Schools until the new strain is under control in areas in Tier 3 & Tier 4

Rejected 13 signatures

What the petition asks

Schools should close in order to reduce the spread of the new strain of coronavirus in younger generations. Students are having to self-isolate every few weeks and have no chance to leave the house for exercise and mental health. To stop the confusion just close schools and reduce the spread.

Schools in London and South East England are having to send students home every week due to a positive case. With the new strain and with the few information about it, schools should close in order to protect the health of students and save the lives of families who are infected with coronavirus from students bring the virus home.
