What the petition asks
The UK government should pay to cover all funeral costs if a NHS or private sector healthcare professional should sadly die from Covid-19 infection whilst carrilying out their jobs
The government are hailing these workers as hero's and therfore I think they should be treated as such if the worst was to happen whilst carrying out their jobs and putting themselves in harms way for the good of this country.
