Rejected petition Close academic institutions/workplaces Immediately due to Covid-19 -coronavirus.

Close all academic institutions/workplaces with provided sick pay immediately so that the Coronavirus (Covid-19) does not spread. Even if they are supported by multi-academy trusts

More details

The Coronavirus will spread and this is a matter of urgency.Many people are dying and we cant risk losing people in this country. If this does spread then there will be a huge problem to the population of the United Kingdom as it will decrease with many people dying and people who have confirmed cases. When there is a choice between our education/work or our health. I believe it should be our health.
