Rejected petition 20,000 pounds to 'Key Workers' that pass away from COVID-19

Rejected on 29 June 2020

I can only imagine the fear of entering an environment where you are fully aware of the danger of contracting a deadly virus. One of those fears I imagine would be one of finance for their family should anything happen. This petition is to pacify that fear in some small way.

If I need to explain why I want my government to do it.....Then they are in the wrong job.
