What the petition asks

The government have quite rightly so stepped up to support those out of work due to the coronavirus. However our key workers, who are vital to keeping the country running are putting themselves at increased risk everyday some of them are working crazy hours to cover sickness, where is their reward.
Because it is only fair, they do not have the option to hide at home to keep themselves and their family safe.
