Reduce business activities in storage and distribution centres to only essential
Reduce business non - essential business activities in distribution centres, excluding only food supply chain
Warehousing and distribution centres very often use their essential business activities to fully operate across all business with non - essential activities what increase levels of operational staff: key workers and temporary workers. Reduction of non - essential activities will result in lower key workers levels what directly reduces coronavirus spread and support NHS. In distribution centres keeping social distancing is often very difficult what puts many people at risk.
