Funding package for high risk workers to help them while self isolating

Rejected 10 signatures

What the petition asks

Come up with support for high risk workers who are trying to self isolate as advised by government but are unable to do so due to lack of finact support by the government.

The government has advised high risk and elderly to stay at home and self isolate however a large number of high risk people are workers whether it be full or part time however the support the government has offered is to workers whose business is struggling to keep them on.

What about high risk workers who work for businesses that are not struggling and are still having to go to work and put there health at risk as if they don't go to work they can't survive financially
