I have started this petition for the Government to recognise the work and dedication of NHS staff and all key workers for their work during the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic. They are risking their own lives, to protect and keep as all safe.The medal should be awarded to all NHS staff who are now risking their own lives, caring for victims of coronavirus (COVID-19). It should also be awarded to key workers such as postmen, refuse workers, retail workers, care workers, lorry drivers, teachers.
