UK Government will pay £60,000 to the families of NHS staff who die of COVID-19

Supplied video obtained Tuesday, April 28, 2020, of UK Health Secretary Matt Hancock announcing a Government life assurance scheme that will pay £60,000 to the families of frontline NHS and social care workers who have died in the course of their duties. "We want to do everything that we can to support families who are dealing with this grief," he says. "As a Government, we are looking closely at other professions that work on the frontline against coronavirus, who also do not have access to such schemes, to see where this may be required."
