What the petition asks
To close all non essential shops and (fashion,homeward, jewellery etc) shopping centres during the Covid-19 crisis ensuring workers receive pay. As busy shops are putting both retail workers and customers at risk to infection. Due to the layout of shops it is hard to maintain social distancing.
To close all non essential shops ensuring the retail workers continue to be paid. Thus protecting them from infection. Also with the closing of schools and self isolation of over 70's child care will be incredibly difficult to find.
