Don't Die of Ignorance! Produce a Public Information Film about Covid 19!

Rejected 11 signatures

What the petition asks

In 1987, the Government of the day produced a hard hitting Public Information Film warning about the dangers of AIDS.
As we grapple with Covid19, the time has come for the Government to produce a hard hitting Public Information Film to get their message across.
The time has come to take a tougher line with people who still don't believe or want to believe the dangers of Covid19.
The 1987 Aids Public Information Film was effective and powerful.
We need a modern day equivalent to address the dangers of Covid19.

Don't Die of Ignorance!

Why it was rejected

It was not clear what the petition asked the UK Government or Parliament to do.

The Government has been regularly advertising public information about Covid-19 since the the start of the pandemic. We're not sure what changes you would like to see.

Since you started this petition the Government have launched a new campaign. You can find information about the most recent campaign here: https://www.gov.uk/government/news/new-tv-advert-urges-public-to-stay-at-home-to-protect-the-nhs-and-save-lives
