Close all retail stores to protect all retail workers from the COVID-19
The government should order all retail stores to close. There are many retail stores still open which are making workers more vulnerable and at high risk of getting infected which will result into a rise in the number of cases and deaths.
The government or parliament needs to do this in order to protect all UK citizens and residents from COVID-19. People are being told to socially distance however, this is not possible for retail workers dealing with customers for 8 hours a day.
