Saw this on another site…

The quote below is from the government announcement on the Jubilee Medal

The government is developing plans to mark the contribution of key workers, including NHS workers, to the fight against the Covid-19 pandemic and will announce further plans in due course.

For those eligible, there is no application process - eligible staff will be automatically notified via their employer.
 
Does this suggest there is going to be a Covid Medal after all? 
 
Or is it referring to this?

But if so, only staff with 5 years service will qualify, unless that’s going to change?
