Prevent schools opening after the Christmas break in all tier 4 areas

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

I would like the government to close schools after the Christmas break in all tier 4 areas

I want the government to close school after the Christmas break in tier 4 areas due to to the surge in coronavirus cases in 11-18 year olds. I also want them to close as this virus has now mutated to be more deadly and more infectious. Also this should be implemented more in tier 3 and tier 4 locations as these areas have the worst rate of infection.

Why it was rejected

The UK Government or Parliament was already taking the action it asked for.

Since you started your petition the Government has announced that primary schools, secondary schools and colleges across England must move to remote provision from 5 January 2021, except for vulnerable children and the children of key workers.
