A concurrent resolution to honor and recognize frontline workers in the state of Michigan.

Whereas, The novel coronavirus, also commonly referred to as COVID-19, is a global pandemic that attacks the respiratory system and endangers those who come into contact with it. Far too many patients with the most severe complications have developed pneumonia or even perished because of COVID-19. Older adults and people with underlying health conditions have a greater risk of developing a serious illness and require the need of experienced medical personnel; and

Whereas, We have called on our frontline workers to serve Michigan during this pandemic; and

Whereas, Frontline workers have risen above the daily challenges they face to continue to protect the health and safety of our communities; and

Whereas, Workers such as police officers, firefighters, corrections officers, medical professionals, teachers, EMTs, paramedics, farmers, restaurant workers, food processing workers, grocery store employees, truck, bus, and delivery drivers, commercial pilots, mortuary technicians, public works employees, sanitation, custodial, janitorial, and cleaning service workers and many others that are serving a critical role in sustaining and protecting our economy, our safety and our way of life during the COVID-19 pandemic; and

Whereas, These workers have put themselves in harm's way to care for their patients, maintain safety and public health, ensure there is food available to feed families, maintain critical supply chains, deliver vaccines, and so much more; and

Whereas, There have been frontline workers that have succumbed to COVID-19 after contracting the illness while working to ensure the safety and prosperity of others; now therefore, be it

Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate concurring), That the members of this legislative body honor and recognize frontline workers in the state of Michigan. We extend our most sincere gratitude for the invaluable role of essential workers during the COVID-19 pandemic and honor the sacrifices they have made to protect our great state and the people who call it home.
