Keep Schools Closed even after Mid Feb since deaths are still rising in UK

Petition Details

This petition was rejected

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:

Since you started your petition, the Government has confirmed its hope that it will be safe to start re-opening schools from 8 March at the earliest, and there are no indications they are considering re-opening them in February: dfemedia.blog.gov.uk/2021/01/28/prime-minister-announces-that-schools-and-colleges-will-return-from-8-march-at-the-earliest/

For clarity, the number of daily Covid-19 deaths has been declining since 19 January: coronavirus.data.gov.uk/details/deaths.

You could start a petition that sets out criteria for when schools can reopen, if that is something you'd like to happen.

In the meantime you might like to sign this petition which calls for a similar action:
