Coronavirus: Applause for key workers 'is not enough'



NHS workers, police and firefighters must get better pay and treatment after they "see us through" the coronavirus
crisis, a union leader has said.

Matt Wrack, of the Fire Brigades Union, said many of his members were working at testing centres, delivering
health supplies and transporting bodies.

He called the weekly applause for NHS and other key workers "great", but added that "clapping is not enough".

The Home Office has been contacted for a comment.

Foreign Secretary Dominic Raab, who is standing in for Prime Minister Boris Johnson while he recovers from
coronavirus, has described frontline workers as "heroic".
