Investigate 0-5 years and covid-19 transmission

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

Early years have been told to remain open due to the low transmission rate of Covid-19 in 0-5 years to adults by the DFE. After speaking to other settings it has been noted that children are testing positive with no symptoms.

How are we to remain open and protected? If the children we care for dont show symptoms? Children are being asked to isolate but why if they do not spread the virus?

Make early years a priority for vaccinations and look into parents getting their children tested for asymptomatic cases
