Petition Action

Close primary schools till the 18th of january

Petition Details

Because of the rising numbers in covid cases primary schools should also be closed because just because younger children dont get as ill from it does not mean they are not passing it to the people they live with who then in turn are passing it on to people they work with.

Additional Information

The new variant makes it even more imperative.
