Rejected petition Don't allow schools to reopen untill Coronovirus has gone from the UK.

Asking parents to send there children into a potentially lethal and dangerous environment is unacceptable. Asking school children especially young school children to understand and follow social distancing is ludicrous.

More details

We ask the government to imediatley withdraw the impending action to reopen schools on the 1st June untill such time as the threat of coronovirus is almost none existent (alert level one)
