Award “war medals” for NHS workers in the war of COVID 19.

Rejected 11 signatures

What the petition asks

Reward different medals for different contributions, especially those who are risking their health daily to save lives.

NHS workers and others are risking their lives for the greater good. I see large parallels to the armed forces in times of war and consider that these workers should be recognised as such.
