To establish a system of recognition of those involved in fighting Coronavirus
The Government should establish a system of recognition for all the essential workers, volunteers and companies involved in the fight against Coronavirus in the UK.
During the Coronavirus epidemic many thousands of people are selflessly working to ensure that the UK continues to function and that the sick and vulnerable are cared for. Many companies have also joined the effort by changing their production lines to make medical supplies and equipment. Once the epidemic is over, the Government should recognise their efforts by issuing a medal (similar to the Ebola medal) to all persons involved in the effort, and a Coronavirus Charter Mark to all companies.

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 these petitions calling for the same action.
