Rejected petition Close schools, colleges and Universities until January 2021 due to Covid 19
Rejected on
Schools, colleges and universities are hot spots for COVID 19. The students are then introducing the virus to their homes and becoming super spreaders. If we're going into lockdown surely makes sense to close education facilities as well.
