Pay keyworkers 80% of wages if they or their family are ill or self-isolate

Many keyworkers may only get SSP if they become ill or have to self-isolate. That's £98 a week. These people are risking their lives and that of their families for us. At they very least the government should guarantee them 80% or their wages, like it has for those who may just sitting at home.

All I am asking is for the government to do what's fair and morally right. These amazing people are risking their lives for us. Let ensure they get 80% of their wages if they become ill or have to self-isolate. It is the least we can do.
