Prosecute people profitting on Baby essentials during the corona virus epidemic.
Threaten to or prosecute people selling Baby milk, nappies and wipes for profit during shortages due to the Coronavirus panic buying.
Mothers are struggling to find milk to feed their babies and as a result have been reduced to asking on social media for help, while people are selling milk and other essentials for extortionate prices, causing even more shortages and poverty.
