Make it compulsory to wear masks in public places (e.g.Schools/Public Transport)
Wearing masks should be made compulsory in all public places, including schools, colleges, shops and public transport
As Covid-19 becomes more widespread more people are put at risk. Wearing masks in all public areas could help to protect high risk people and help to minimise the spread.
You can't sign this petition because it was rejected. But you can still comment on it here at Repetition.me!
The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
Petitions need to call on the Government or Parliament to take a specific action.
We're not sure whether you want the Government to provide everyone with masks or only allows those who can access masks to go outdoors. In any case, schools and other public gatherings are now not allowed.
You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you would like the Government or Parliament to do. You might find it interesting to see the WHO's advice on the use of masks
