Send high risk NHS workers on sick leave COVID19
High risk people are more vulnerable to COVID19. Working in NHS is preventing them from social distancing creating a discrimination between them and other workers that are able to work from home , putting their life in extremely high danger
NHS workers that are considered high risk should either be sent home on sick leave or have their duties adjusted to working from home in order to be able to practice self isolation like any other workers. Their families should not be afraid that they might lose a very beloved member due to being employed by NHS.
