What the petition asks
I want the Government to provide all NHS workers with the correct WHO standard PPEs now.
My mum and many others in the NHS are treating COVID-19 patients without the WHO standard protective equipments. In order to combat this virus, we must "protect the NHS" by providing them with PPEs Boris.

If we can't "protect the NHS" workers from this virus, who will protect us?
They are risking their lives treating COVID-19 patients. They are more susceptible to contracting this virus, and yet the government has not provided them with adequate PPEs.
They are our HEROS in this battle.
Clapping for them won't help, but supplying them with PPEs will.
