Provide equipment (masks, scraps, glasses, etc.) to all medical practitioners
Currently the majority of medical practitioners are not equipped with masks, scraps and glasses resulting to a number of them being affected or being in isolation/quarantine
The number of medical practitioners to fight covid-19 is significantly lower than the number needed. If a large number of them is affected from covid-19, this will be a major issue with significant consequences.

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.

Advice on the use of personal protective equipment is a matter for Public Health England, not the Government or Parliament.
