Urgently provide Personal Protective Equipment to NHS staff against COVID-19
Immediately provide essential Personal Protective Equipment to NHS staff who are battling to save and protect people’s lives during this pandemic.
Protect NHS staff from contracting COVID-19, keeping them safe in this crisis.
We as a country need these highly trained medical professionals to provide essential care for patients, who urgently require their expertise to survive.
The protective equipment will prevent them from contracting and ultimately spreading the virus. Please, please support these commendable people who are courageously supporting us in the most dire times of our lives.

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
There's already a petition about this issue. We cannot accept a new petition when we already have one about a very similar issue.
You are more likely to get action on this issue if you sign and share a single petition.
You may wish to sign this petition calling for the same action: petition.parliament.uk/petitions/304243
Advice on the use of personal protective equipment is a matter for Public Health England, not the Government or Parliament.
