Rejected petition Close all schools and nursery’s till COVID-19 has stopped spreading.

Rejected on 16 March 2020

I want the government to close all schools and nursery’s until the spread of covid-19 is over with.

To protect all staff and pupils. All events with 500+ people alphabet been cancelled until further notice. All football has been stopped why on earth are kids and teachers still in school when 95% of schools in the UK have more than 500 people in the building every day.
