Rejected petition All NHS workers to get a “Campaign Medal” as all British forces do!

I would like the British Government to award all frontline NHS workers and carers a “Campaign medal” just like British Forces receive when on active operations due to their unwavering efforts during the COVID-19 Pandemic. The NHS staff are behind enemy lines serving their country!

More details

There is absolutely no difference in a soldier patrolling an active war zone with the threat of IEDs, sniper fire, firefights etc to a member of staff of the NHS working and fighting against this virus and putting themselves in harms way for the good of the people of this great Country every day with the added risk to their families to worry about also.
