Rejected petition Keep Schools closed until a vaccine is available - Prevent COVID19 child deaths
Rejected on
We call upon the Government or Parliament to ensure the safety and wellbeing of our nation's children by keeping Schools closed until a vaccine is made available.
COVID-19 is claiming the lives of children with the youngest aged only 5. There are also many other children who have now died from COVID-19 that are believed to have no underlying health issues. We now know that children are not immune to this virus.
Schools should remain closed until a vaccine and tests for immunity are made available.
