Ensure NHS well equipped with medical protective equipment for coronavirus.
We want the government to ensure health workers dealing with all patients with symptoms of coronavirus, regardless of what they are treated for, to have PPE level cover, and those who treat coronavirus patients with more protective level medical suit, glasses and facial mask.
We have seen in China, Italy and other countries where doctors and health workers having high risk of contracting the virus and then spreading it to patients. We want the government to take all measures including considering to open a channel for public donation for certified medical protective equipment, to help our NHS to prepare for the pandemic.
