Test ALL NHS frontline workers for Covid 19 - With no priority list.
The government must acknowledge that many frontline ‘key workers’ are now self isolating with symptoms of Covid 19 with no confirmed diagnosis but are expected to return to work after 7 days isolation period. All NHS staff MUST be swabbed if they develop symptoms and before returning to work.
Ultimately the government MUST do this with immediate effect to continue to save lives. Both the workers themselves and the public they come into contact with. Staff are being made to feel worthless as the government fail to help protect the NHS and all key workers and ultimately leave them without being tested for the deadly virus. It’s time that the government and parliament understand that ‘warming words’ and ‘kind gestures’ just isn’t enough anymore. We NEED to be tested immediately.
