Petition Action

Encourage working from home amongst COVID-19 outbreak

Petition Details

Encourage employers and universities to let employees and students work from home where this is possible

Additional Information

The WHO Chief has expressed that he is “deeply concerned” by “alarming levels of inaction” by governments in response to the coronavirus outbreak. Employers and universities are currently reluctant to allow their employees and students to work from home as the government have refused to encourage them. This would help reduce the spread of the virus allowing greater protection for the elderly and vulnerable with underlying health conditions. Also, CO2 emissions from travel will be reduced
