Wages to be increased for workers directly reducing the prevalence of COVID-19
To support healthcare professionals, epidemiologists, public health professionals, cleaners and others involved in reducing the spread of COVID-19 by working in high-risk and high-load conditions, due to the fact that the probability of getting COVID-19 is very high, as well as spreading it.
These workers cannot avoid the direct contact with the virus.
Wages to be increased for workers directly involved in reducing the prevalence of COVID-19 for the months it is being actively treated!
If other European countries can rise wages for these workers, UK should do it as well!!!

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.
The Government is only responsible for funding the wages of public sector workers, but you may wish to sign some of these petitions, which make similar requests:
