Close retail stores that aren't providing vital products such as food/medicine
Retail stores that are not providing vital products such as food or medicine should be closed. There are still a high number of retail stores open that do not need to be. Stores such as Curry's PC world, Furniture stores and clothes shops.
These shops are not only forcing staff to go to work and therefore work in close proximity to others, but they are also tempting people out of their homes whilst they remain open. These stores are not selling anything vital and it is unfair that the CEO's and directors of these stores are still allowed to send their staff to work. Just like the many pubs and restaurants that have been forced to closed, these stores should have to do the same.
