Pay essential workers for time off if they have tested positive for covid 19
I'd like the government to pay essential workers, instead of them having to use holiday entitlement whilst they recover at home
If the government can pay 80% wages to furloughed workers, I think they should also pay their essential workers for time off if they've tested positive for covid 19, after all these people are needed and it's unfair that they have to use holiday entitlement whilst they recover from covid, it could be damaging to the NHS if folk are forced to go to work with covid in their system, because they can't afford to take the time off..
