Close all non-essential retail businesses in order to stop COVID19 spreading.
Boris Johnson has ordered pubs, restaurants, leisure centres, gyms, cinemas and restaurants to close as of March 21st. Although big brands have decided to close, there are a selection of non essential businesses still open. Therefore, guidelines are not being followed.
Boris Johnson should order all non-essential retail businesses to close in order to follow previous guidelines set as well as decrease unnecessary contact within the nation.
