Issue a 'Coronovirus' award to all those working during this epidemic
Design a visibly recognisable award (lapel pin perhaps) worn by those people working during this epidemic. Eligibility perhaps hospital staff, police, fire and ambulance personnel, delivery drivers, supermarkets and shops (chemists), postpersons and refuse collectors etc.
When this epidemic is over, it would be good to recognise the sacrifices these people have made on our behalf. A visibly worn lapel badge would not only represent a token of the government's thanks but would enable individuals to personally offer their appreciation of the amazing efforts these people have made
