Closed petition Make masks mandatory for primary school students and teachers.

Closed on 8 April 2021

Make masks mandatory for children and teachers whilst inside as well as for the carers when they pick up the children to help battle the rapid transmission of the virus. Furthermore enforce temperature checks and ensure children, carers and teachers are following hygiene protocols in schools.

Recently there has been a rise in COVID-19 cases, meaning that children in schools are more likely to catch the virus and pass it on to the vulnerable carers at home. Moreover free mixing with no masks will increase the likelihood of the virus being spread through the population rapidly, impacting our livelihood and delaying the possibility for our lives to return back to normal.
