Rejected petition Schools break up early, allowing 2 week isolation before Christmas socialising

Allow schools to finish early in December 2020. This will allow children to isolate for 2 weeks before mixing with vulnerable family members.

More details

This will keep family members safer when mixing at Christmas. It will help slow the spread of COVID, and stop a bigger spike after Christmas. If children (who often don’t show symptoms), can finish the school term 2 weeks before we are allowed to bubble in houses of 3.
