What the petition asks

If they need to self isolate and they are in the vulnerable category like cancer sufferers.and they have a GP or doctors note...the business can get this money back from the government

Workers cannot afford to self isolate on £94.25 a week. This will cancel the choice they have to make between health, food or keeping the roof over their head
