Setup subsidised/free grocery stores for NHS staff at hospitals during crisis.
Utilise existing hospital stores or setup new temporary stores in hospitals fighting the Corona virus outbreak. Government to work with the retail sector to ensure these hospitals are kept stocked.
The NHS staff from these hospitals could order groceries from these stores for pickup after their long shifts. This ensures the staff have healthy foods available instead of going to empty stores. These stores could also be subsidised or free as a thank you to these vital key workers.
