People with increased risk of severe illness from coronavirus to have paid leave
I would like the government to consider people who fall in this particular category to have paid leave from work, as many people who are advised to self isolate cannot due to not being able to afford time off work, especially when you are a main provider for families
The government has clearly listed people within the risk categories and strongly advised these people to self isolate for 12 weeks. The vast majority will not be able to afford to do this and therefore will dismiss the idea of self isolating even though our health is at risk. I'm asking the government to consider to help those more at risk of getting a sever illness from coronavirus
