Petition Action

Essential workers need to be tested for Covid 19 for their own and public safety

Petition Details

Complete lock down for minimum 7 days as soon as possible. I believe that people have stocked up most their essentials for 4-5 days.
Most supermarkets are struggling for smooth operation as not enough staff and stock availability. Key/essential worker’s immunity will go down with extra work.

Additional Information

Police force can help to stop people going out unnecessarily by doing patrolling.
Need to take some strict action against this situation.

Thank you ????
