Provide free temporary accommodation to NHS staff to protect their families
Provide free temporary accommodation for NHS staff to avoid the spread of infection to their vulnerable family members.
As a NHS doctor, I am worried about the well being of the families of all NHS staff. I believe NHS staff should be provided with free temporary accommodation during this coronavirus Pandemic so that they can keep their families safe. Not only will this help reduce the spread of the virus, but it will allow them to work comfortably knowing their families are not at risk. Many hotels are currently not in operation due to the outbreak, and hence there is potentially lots of room to accommodate.
