What the petition asks
During the coronavirus outbreak it is important that people stay in touch with each other, and it is especially important that people are able to reach the emergency services.
With the almost all retailers required to close during the outbreak, it is more difficult to buy or repair phones or other communication devices. The Government should add mobile phone and computer retailers/repair shops to list of essential businesses, so they can reopen and people can buy and repair these products more easily.
