This petition was rejected

Why was this petition rejected?

It’s not clear what the petition is asking the UK Government or Parliament to do.

It is already the law to wear a face covering on public transport and in shops, we're therefore not exactly sure what further action you'd like the UK Government or Parliament to take.
