SAFETY NET & INSURANCE for families of MEDICS & KEYWORKERS during COVID-19
Rejected
15 signatures
What the petition asks
The government should provide with some form of a financial safety net and insurance for the families of the NHS workers and key workers who are all at the frontline of this war with COVID-19.
The medics and key workers are all on the frontline fighting the war with COVID-19 with little care about their families. The families of key workers are staying strong but constantly live with the fear and anxiety for their main breadwinner of the house. All the key workers go to their respective homes and put their families at risk. The families live in uncertainty and each day are at higher risk of being affected by this pandemic. Consideration for families of these superheroes is necessary.
