Rejected petition No child back to school before September 2020! Prevent a second wave!

No child (primary or secondary) should be going back to the school setting before September at the earliest. It is detrimental to the progress we as a country have made towards combating Covid-19

More details

Children should not be allowed into the school setting until September at the earliest. Primary school children can not socially distance themselves and having that imposed on them by other adults is confusing and could prove negative on their mental wellbeing. Children should stay safe at home with their families until the new school year to keep the wider community safe and help prevent a second wave of Covid-19
