Close all non-essential stores to keep staff and customers safe and reduce the strain on the NHS!
Support companies in ensuring retail staff still get paid.
The CoronaVirus is at a critical point. The number of cases and deaths are rising faster than they have in many other countries and we need to act now. Boris Johnson has closed many public places but non-essential shops and shopping centres are still open. We need to close all non-essential stores to keep staff and customers safe and put less pressure on the amazing NHS!!
