A medal for all frontline public sector workers helping during the COVID Crisis
Create a medal for all frontline public sector workers who have risked their lives during the Corona Virus pandemic to show that the government and country respects and appreciates their amazing work and self-sacrifice.
The COVID-19 virus pandemic has been named as "the greatest risk to the public since World War 2". The public sector have, without exception stepped up and provided their services despite the considerable risk to their own lives. They cannot work from home, and are exposed to the greatest dangers this virus can provide, yet they have done so in an unwavering manner.
The public respect this, the government say they do, so we believe they should be rewarded for this sacrifice.
