What the petition asks
Government to freeze tax for NHS staff's salary for at least 3 months as an incentive for their continued service and support to selfless humanitarian services during this pandemic in our country
The NHS staff are working so hard endangering their lives and that if their families to keep us all safe. Working in frontline in the treatment of COViD-19 positive patients. It will be nice for a deserved thank you that government freezes the tax on their salary for at least 3 months
