In the event of implemented quarantine, cancel all bills and mortgage payments.
In the event the government implement a countrywide quarantine to stop the spread of COVID_19, for the government to cancel all water, gas and electricity payments and mortgage payments.
People are going to be using more of these services due to being unable to leave the house and there seems to be know real explanations of what might happen regarding being payed by work. People may not be able to afford these payments on the statutory sick pay should companies choose not to pay their staff whilst not in work.

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
Suspending payments for council tax, mortgages, utilities and loans is a matter for individual councils, mortgage providers, utility providers and lenders, and not the UK Government or Parliament.
We have published a petition calling for the Government to introduce a Universal Basic Income to give people home and food security during the coronavirus outbreak: petition.parliament.uk/petitions/302284
