Sanitise infected surfaces in public places before locked down is over.
Minimise further transmission of COVID-19 by disinfecting streets, public services (toilets, transport, benches), lifts, escalators, pavements, tourist areas, markets and places of worship. Many countries such as Italy, Turkey and Ukraine have employed these measures against the spread of COVID-19.
The outbreak of COVID-19 has severely strained everyday lives of the public. Public services remain operational for NHS staff and key workers, fighting at the frontline against COVID-19. Countries around the globe are dispatching workers in PPE to disinfect their streets. Our government should be taking like measures to overpower this invisible enemy. Our government should be minimising the risk of infectious transmission, such precautionary measure would inflate the likelihood to save lives.

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
