Award all NHS workers a Medal for their service following Covid 19 outbreak.
I’m starting this petition to award all NHS workers a medal for their service during the outbreak of Corona Virus. In a similar way soldiers are awarded a medal for completing a tour, or NYC police were awarded a world trade centre breast bar for their response to 9/11.
I would like the government to award this honour to NHS staff as a symbol of our enormous gratitude to their service. They are making a huge sacrifice to keep us safe in these unprecedented times.
