Petition Action

Total lockdown of the UK for at least 14 days.

Petition Details

To adopt a responsible approach to control the spread of Coronavirus.

Additional Information

Looking at the current measures the government is more concerned with the economy and the financial impact rather than saving lives. Extreme measures are needed fast to avoid it turning into a national disaster as it has done in Italy already. The Medical Professionals in Italy are urging other countries to learn from their situation and have emphasised the need for a total lockdown to prevent the virus from spreading, this needs to happen now!

We should not be told by our Prime Minister to 'prepare to lose our loved ones'!!!
