Covid19 is infectious; frontline staff e.g. paramedics are sent into homes of patients with suspected infections wearing a disposable mask, apron & gloves. This is NOT good enough! They put their lives at risk with every call that they make.","additional_details":"I was seen by a paramedic today. I was  horrified that I had a better mask on than the paramedic. She was wearing a disposable mask, apron and gloves. There were two paramedics but one stayed outside to limit the spread of this infection. How is this acceptable? They are putting their lives at risk with every call they make. I cannot imagine the fear they must feel every day. The very least the government can do is provide more rigorous protective clothing for them. It’s not much to ask!","committee_note":null,"state":"rejected","signature_count":10,"created_at":"2020-03-24T10:30:03.971Z","updated_at":"2023-07-12T10:44:30.589Z","rejected_at":"2020-03-31T18:02:00.326Z","opened_at":null,"closed_at":null,"moderation_threshold_reached_at":"2020-03-24T14:27:34.000Z","response_threshold_reached_at":null,"government_response_at":null,"debate_threshold_reached_at":null,"debate_scheduled_on":null,"scheduled_debate_date":null,"debate_outcome_at":null,"rejection":{"code":"duplicate","details":"You may wish to sign this petition calling for the same action: https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/304243\n\nAdvice on the use of personal protective equipment is a matter for Public Health England, not the Government or Parliament.\n\nYou can find out more about coronavirus and how you can protect yourself and others here:\n\nNHS website: https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/coronavirus-covid-19/\nUK Government website: https://www.gov.uk/coronavirus\n\nYou can read NHS tips to help if you are worried about coronavirus here: https://www.nhs.uk/oneyou/every-mind-matters/coronavirus-covid-19-anxiety-tips\n\nYou may also be interested to know that because of the large number of petitions that have been started in relation to coronavirus, the Petitions Committee has been questioning the Government about its response to the coranavirus outbreak.\n\nFind out more and watch the Committee put questions suggested by petitioners to Government Ministers and the Deputy Chief Medical Officer: https://committees.parliament.uk/committee/326/petitions-committee/news/145767/committee-question-deputy-chief-medical-officer-and-ministers-on-coronavirus-response/\n\nRead letters asking further questions of Government Ministers: https://committees.parliament.uk/committee/326/petitions-committee/publications/3/correspondence/\n"},"government_response":null,"debate":null,"departments":[],"topics":[]}}}
