The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:

Since you started your petition the Government has made a number of statements regarding PPE for healthcare workers, and relevant guidance has been updated.

Guidance on Covid-19 and the use of personal protective equipment (PPE) is a matter for Public Health England, and not the Government or Parliament.
