Offer privilege cards to key workers to avoid queues during the Corona outbreak
Key worker and their families need to be looked after while they are risking their lives to save fellow citizens.
Shopping delivered to home or a privilege card that can guarantee essential items will be reserved for them or will shorten the queues will help them focus on important things and rest
While the government is encouraging the public to work from home where possible, key workers are working tirelessly to ensure that everyone is looked after during the coronavirus outbreak. They would appreciate no long queues or disappointment during the shopping before they start the next shift.

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
The opening and delivery arrangements for supermarkets are a matter for individual retailers, not the Government or Parliament. A number of retailers have announced plans to prioritise elderly or vulnerable customers, and NHS workers. Customers should contact their local supermarket to find out if they have put such arrangements in place.
The Government has made certain changes to enable supermarkets to work together during the coronavirus outbreak, particularly to serve customers who are elderly, ill or vulnerable: www.gov.uk/government/news/supermarkets-to-join-forces-to-feed-the-nation
We have published a petition calling on the Government to supply NHS key frontline staff working during Covid-19 healthy food hampers, which you might like to sign: petition.parliament.uk/petitions/306339
