What the petition asks

As the nation's gratitude to those that sacrificed themselves the Government should recognise the deceaseds' dedication by such awards.
An award to each applicable person will serve as a token of appreciation of the ultimate price paid to bring Covid-19 under control. Furthermore it will give the loved ones of the departed a bit of comfort that the country recognises the dedication of those lost lives.
