Give the NHS an emergency funding package to cope with Covid-19.
Nurses and doctors need to be rewarded for their hard work and need more masks and better equipment to handle the virus. Patients with Covid-19 need appropriate equipment to recover, reversing current shortages. There need to be more tests distributed widely for medical staff.
Tests also need to be distributed widely to the general population to improve the containment of the virus. Hospitals also need to be better prepared to prevent the spread of the virus through beds and more room for patients.
