Rejected petition Mandatory face mask use for 40 days against the spread of Covid-19

Preventing the spread of Covid-19 has become urgent priority in many countries all around the world. The governement is supposed to issue a strict amendment in order that each person will be wearing a mandatory mask everytime they go out from home for 40 days at least.

More details

Lots of people are not conscious of getting the virus even though they don't feel any symptoms at all and they can easily infect people manifesting more seriously dangerous effects. That's why everybody MUST wear a mask so that the infections will be reduced little to zero. It could be such a success if UK were one the first countries to get rid of this virus forever!
