Provide 80% pay to all members of a household with a vulnerable person

Closed 102 signatures

What the petition asks

To stop putting the vulnerable at risk by providing 80% pay to all those that live with them. This will help them pay their household bills without having to go to work, to enable them to stop the spread of COVID 19 to their vulnerable family members.
Most vulnerable household members live with others and are being put at risk by them going to work. However if these household members don't go to work, their bills will not be paid. Therefore the government needs to put measures in place to further protect the vulnerable and limit financial strain on their households.
