We know that the least well off in the UK and those suffering underlying health issues are being disproportionately affected by Covid-19. This includes many former Miners and mining communities. We need to get on top of the Coronavirus pandemic and where tougher restrictions are needed there must be additional help from the Government to mitigate the effects and protect jobs in affected areas.
