Close all schools to stop the spread of Coronavirus

Petition Details

The government is bringing in strict rules about who people can and can't mix with to help stop the spread. This is all well and good except when you have children mixing with people from multiple households. The government needs to close schools down to stop the spread

Additional Information

This needs to be done so that the virus has less chance to spread between people.
