Rejected petition Close Underground trains for an appropriate amount of time amidst COVID19.

We would like the government to at least consider closing the use of the undergound down in the coming weeks or as soon as possible, in addition to taking necessary actions to prevent further spread of covid19.

More details

We would like the government to enforce this action due to the growing number of cases and deaths which is causing fear amongst the public. In our view the government and health officials should take a proactive approach by closing the undergound trains so the virus does not spread any further. We hope to come to an agreement as soon as possible in a timely manner.
