What the petition asks
School students should not have to go back to school at least until September rather than 8 March, given almost all of their education has been online anyway.
With more strains appearing, there are concerns that schools, colleges and universities are where Covid spreads the fastest. In order for everything to fee back to normal everyone should be in lockdown until September, to allow for enough time for cases to fall dramatically.
