Government to pay self employed people for covid-19

Rejected 13 signatures

What the petition asks

Most self employed people are the main provider for their family. If they have to self isolate then the household could suffer a loss of £2000 per month as a minimum. SSP is of no help to self employed people.

The government should pay the self employed people their full wage while they have to self isolate or their business self isolate based on their last tax return.
