Rejected petition Pay expecting mother’s for the 12 weeks isolation period

Rejected on 17 April 2020

All expecting mums have been advised to stay in / isolate and distance themselves for 12 weeks , a lot of these pregnant mums aren’t being paid by their work but are staying home to keep them and everyone else safe ! We should be paying them.

I am pregnant myself and am lucky enough to receive pay off my company but many expecting mums have the biggest fear at this moment in time with the virus , they don’t know how they will support their family or new born baby when their work isn’t paying them for the 12 week isolation period.
