Create a series of medals to recognise NHS & Key Workers during the Coronavirus
Those working in the NHS and Key worker roles have put their lives at risk in order to save the lives of others. They should be recognised accordingly for the risks they have taken.
The Coronavirus outbreak has been described as a war and those fighting it should get the recognition they deserve. There should be a range of awards and medals akin to those offered to our military and given to those who have put their own personal saftey ahead of the need to serve our country and save lives.
