Rejected petition To Take Action in Protecting Children Going Back to School

To recognise the fact that children are also at great risks of attracting the virus by going back to school, which meant that there will be a high chance of the virus spreading at a much quicker rate. We urge the government to make face masks compulsory to all students that are going back to school.

More details

Currently the government is a key factor in terms of raising awareness and urging people to take action. By urging the government/parliament to take action, we can ensure that almost every person, if not all, is aware of the risks of coronavirus spreading within school and thus recognise the need to take action.
