Rejected petition Make it mandatory people wear masks when dropping off, picking up kids at school

I would like to see wearing masks made mandatory around all primary and secondary schools.

More details

Based on my own experience, when I drop off or collect my children at school, there are hundreds of parents / guardians doing this same activity at the same time. I would say 99% of these people do not wear masks but stand in queues waiting for the schools to open. If this is the same at every school around the country then it’s only logical that this could potentially be an area of unknown innocent spread of the corona virus.
