Keep nurseries and preschools closed in tier 4 alongside schools
Rejected
21 signatures
What the petition asks
The government has announced that schools both primary and secondary will remain closed for up to two weeks in tier 4 areas. Nursery schools should also be added to this and are often ignored. Children of nursery age spread germs amongst peers and staff at a higher rate than school age children.
