What the petition asks
Work with companies who run online shopping services such Ocado and Tesco to encourage them to give priority to people over 70 who order food and necessities such as toilet paper.
Many people over 70 and much older are self-isolating in line with Government advice. We avoid personal shopping and need the services of online shopping but some online companies are limiting basic necessities such as toilet paper, paracetamol, hand sanitizers, and various anti-bacterial, anti-virus wipes and sprays.
