Stop the reselling of essential items during COVID-19 pandemic.
Stop the reselling of toilet paper, sanitising products, long lasting food goods, paracetamol, baby formula and anything else that should classify as essential items during the covid-19 pandemic online, at markets and door to door.
Fine and repossesse items from those doing so then give to charitys
I want and we need the Government to step in on this because anyone doing so is greatly contributing to preventing vulnerable people from getting the essential items they require for health and safety reasons and feel if this is not done soon many people will suffer.
Also anyone who is doing so will be profiting from the stretching postal resources at a time when they are alreading starting to struggle.
I believe this is of great importance right now for but not limited to the reasons above.
