Rejected

What the petition asks
Work with big supermarkets in England to provide care packages to elderly people living in the UK during the outbreak of the Coronavirus.
Elderly people are at greater risk of contracting the virus and they might have to self-isolate within weeks; essential items are unavailable in shops and online shopping has no availability for the next couple of weeks.
