Rejected petition Do not re open schools in may but keep them closed until September

After recently reading an article stating there is talk about reopening schools in may in the uk despite the covid-19 outbreak still at large this needs closer scrutiny as children are not immune it shouldn’t be allowed to happen.

More details

This is a strong matter due to those already in isolation and those with vulnerable people at home with them by sending children back to school to soon the government would open millions of people up to the risk of covid-19 all over again-children are not immune and have died- to introduce testing at schools as well would traumatise these children in there setting. Schools must not open to soon.
