Paragraph 1
The French
has agreed to give a pay rise of $9 billion to its health workers. It agreed the
on Monday with labour
. The extra cash means that
and care workers will get an extra $208 a month in their pay packet. Doctors who work in the
sector will also get more money. France's Prime Minister said the pay rise was to recognise the
of health workers during the coronavirus
. During the outbreak, millions of French people applauded and clapped their nurses and doctors. This caused the government to reward
with a rise in pay. The Prime Minister told
that: "No one can deny that this is a historic
for our health system."
