Closed petition Require people in care to were face coverings when in presence of care staff

Closed on 20 July 2021

The Government should make it mandatory for people in care, who are not exempt from requirements to wear face coverings, to wear these when in the presence of care workers, and make face coverings available for this purpose.

Currently you can't use public transport or walk into a supermarket without wearing protective clothing, which protects others from you. Yet care staff are expected to work closely with people in care who wear no such items, risking there lives in the process. It's simply not acceptable that such vital members of our society can be left so exposed without basic protective measures being put into place.
