Are on a daily basis risking their own lives and that of their families to serve members of the public's healthcare and supply chain.
The sacrifice that soldiers made during the great wars and the medals they received for their bravery should be translated in this modern day battlefield of fighting this hidden enemy.
These people should be honoured for their service on the front line.
