Petition Action

Harsh lockdown. Close schools, use them for mass testing and mass vaccination

Petition Details

Use school buildings for mass testing for students, staff, parents and the local public. Introduce a harsher lockdown than the one introduced in March. Students may enter the school in case of exams. Also, get police on the streets arresting and fining people breaching isolation.

Additional Information

I think this would reduce the covid cases and deaths massively especially with this new strand. We'd rather experience a much harsher lockdown now, than be told different but still experience one in the future. The mass covid testing will determine who needs to isolate and stay inside to reduce the spread.

This petition was rejected

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:

Since you started your petition the Government has announced a new national lockdown.

You can read the Prime Minister's announcement of new Covid-19 restrictions, including school closures, here: www.gov.uk/government/speeches/prime-ministers-address-to-the-nation-4-january-2021

Decisions about law enforcement are a matter for individual police forces, not the Government or House of Commons.
