Shutdown all Takeaways and Fast Food chains to prevent the spreading of Covid-19

Petition Details

Shut all Takeaways and fast food chains as no one can guarantee the workers safety, we work in a confined space with 5cm gaps between each person. Cannot guarantee that the workers do not have the virus and are spreading it to other workers or customers.

Additional Information

The government should do this to ensure the safety of all the workers within this companies. People are risking their wellbeing to go to work as it is the only way they can get money. Sick pay is not enough to live on. And some companies are unwilling to pay more than 1 week sick pay.
