Why this petition matters

Just We are all observing the sharp rise in the number of Covid infections,deaths and temporal closure of schools as teachers and pupils begin to be affected by the virus. We also have seen the hospitals getting more and more overwhelmed by the disease.


It is without a doubt that with more children set to return to schools on Monday the 6th of July, we should expect an even steeper rise in the curve. This will be a disaster, mostly for our poor communities who are already inadated with cormobidities. 


We each have the responsibilty to ensure safety of our children, the future of this country and our communities. We must close the schools and delay the opening for the young ones as it is clear there will be catastrophy for all of us. The pandamonium as  children are told to go back home,because one of them is infected, no parent or teacher will be able to handle that. But even more, we will not be able to handle the loss of life that will ensue thereafter...so let us take a stand and help the government close the schools down for now intil the curve slopes down.
