Care workers are on the frontline of the fight against COVID-19. Caring for those most vulnerble to the virus, care workers must be able to self-isolate if they show symptoms. Yet care workers cannot afford to do this. This puts public health at risk. Help us to demand #FullPayForCarers to #StopTheSpread.
