What the petition asks
The government should use public funds to give reusable face masks to everyone.
A key responsibility of government is keeping everyone safe, so while we have COVID-19, they should give reusable face masks to everyone.
We are required by government to wear masks to enter shops and pharmacies, and should be wearing masks whenever we are near other people, so they should be providing masks to everyone.
A reusable mask costs money, but some people are too poor to afford them. This is unacceptable during a pandemic.
