Reward key workers with a state medal of honour recognising bravery and courage.
Once the COVID-19 outbreak in the UK is over, all key workers should recieve a state medal of honour in recognition of their courage and commitment in fighting the outbreak and protecting the country.
Workers of the NHS, social carers, police forces and many more are putting their own safety at risk to protect the lives of the vunerable in time of severe need. This courageous and selfless act should be rewarded and recognised for years to come. A state medal of honour for all key workers concerned would be the least that should be done.
