What the petition asks
All the NHS Staffs who are taking care of covid-19 required to wear proper PPE which includes, FFP3 mask,long sleeve gown, full face shield and gloves.
All the NHS staff who have been tested positive on covid-19 has to be retested before going back to work again

On the wards in hospital, social distancing is impossible,Currently there is no need for mask unless patients are suspected or confirmed. People might not show symptoms in incubation period and when the patients are confirmed positive, staffs are asked to wear a surgical mask, apron and gloves which are inadequate for their safety.
so we are requesting all the authorities to take immediate action to provide front line staff with proper PPE with FFP3 mask, full sleeve gowns, full face shield and gloves
