All NHS workers during 2020 coronavirus outbreak get annual 1 day special leave
Reward 2020 NHS workers, including subcontracted cleaners, porters, etc, with a permanent protected 1 day paid special leave on or around 26 March annually to show appreciation for putting their lives on the line to get the UK through the coronavirus outbreak.
A round of applause on the doorstep is one thing but, to mark the occasion annually, and to reward NHS workers for their hard work and putting themselves at risk to help others, would go some way to showing them how the members of the UK public appreciate them.
