Ensure all NHS staff infected with COVID-19 receive full pay if unable to work

Petition Details

Our nurses and doctors are providing the best possible care COVID-19 patients even though they know that they are at risk of being infected. The government should make a commitment that these professionals do not suffer financially if they are unable to work.

Additional Information

My family and I have needed the NHS on many occasions and the nurses and doctors have always been there for us. This is the perfect opportunity to show these wonderful people that we care and that we are so grateful for everything they do for us.
