Rejected petition Close all construction sites down during coronavirus outbreak

Close down all construction sites where non-essential work is happening.

More details

The Government stated that people are only to leave their home for essential purposes. Mostly, this work is non-essential, so why are people's lives being put at risk ?? It is impossible for workers to meet the distance criteria on a building site.
Also, gatherings of more than 2 people have been banned. Do people on a construction site not constitute a gathering ??
Why are construction workers being treated like 2nd class citizens ??
