Rejected petition Close Schools/Colleges down for an appropriate amount of time to stop COVID19.

Rejected on 16 March 2020

We would like the government to at least consider closing schools/colleges down in the coming weeks or as soon as possible, in addition to taking necessary actions to prevent further spread.

We would like the Government or Parliament to enforce this action due to the growing fear among parents and students that attend school.
