Order supermarkets to open for 2 hours every morning to vulnerable and elderly
Order the supermarkets to open for 2 hours every morning during the virus crisis just to elderly and vulnerable people to ensure they can get the provisions they desperately need!
Vulnerable people need to be protected and provided with what they need, and the population seems to be taking more then they need leaving not enough for everyone else!

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
The opening arrangements for supermarkets are a matter for individual retailers, not the Government or Parliament. A number of retailers have announced plans to open early for elderly or vulnerable customers. You should contact your local supermarket to find out if they have put such arrangements in place.
The Government has made certain changes to enable supermarkets to work together during the coronavirus outbreak, particularly to serve customers who are elderly, ill or vulnerable: www.gov.uk/government/news/supermarkets-to-join-forces-to-feed-the-nation
