To financially compensate, and provide more services for those with long covid

Rejected 13 signatures

What the petition asks

There’s no doubt that the pandemic has been life changing for everyone. However many people are experiencing life changing physical effects on top of the mental and social impact of the pandemic. Offer more support for those suffering from long covid (financial compensation and support systems).
To help bring people back to a sense of normality that has been stripped from people suffering with long covid. Many people who fought on the front lines are now unable to cope with everyday life and have been abandoned by their government, many of whom probably used the resources that our frontline workers provided.
