Rejected petition Shut Preschools and Nurseries.

We would like the Government to put play workers into consideration and Shut Preschools and Nurseries, which would then re-open in February, along with secondary schools and colleges.

More details

The new variant of the virus is spread more easily in children, as said by scientists.
When ALL Educational Establishments shut last August, the amount of deaths/new infections dropped dramatically. Why isn't this being put into consideration?
On a day to day basis, up to 30 bubbles mix everyday in a Nursery and Preschool.
This is just as dangerous as a secondary school or college.
Children 3-5 will not wear a mask and do NOT understand social distancing.
