Rejected petition Offer more protection to healthcare workers from the effects of covid19

Rejected on 24 March 2020

I would like the government to be aware of the job that healthcare workers and professionals do with the covid19 virus and offer higher levels of protection towards them.

Healthcare workers - whether they are either qualified professionals or unqualified - are believed to be at one of the highest risks of catching the disease outside of being in close contact with a person who has got it. I feel that the government need to offer more protection and support, both emotionally and financially, to these much needed workers with the work that they do and the risks that they potentially face.
