What the petition asks
Nursery schools should only be open to key workers children. Large numbers of children and families mixing will increase community transmission and put nursery staff and their families at risk
Large numbers of children coming into nursery schools will strive as yet another factor for community transmission. Staff have no social distancing and have no PPE. This puts them and the larger community at risk by spreading the new strain of covid
