What the petition asks

Give our countries key workers an income tax break whilst they are working throughout the Corona virus outbreak, to include nhs staff, care workers (elderly, children) supermarket workers, truck drivers etc these workers are getting on with making sure we are as well as we can be.

I simply think they deserve it to stop them taking easy option staying at home.
