Rejected petition STOP PUTTING WORKERS AT RISK FOR THE ONLINE SALE OF NON-ESSENTIAL GOODS
I'm asking the government and the people to please put an end to this immediately to ensure the safety of everyone being put at risk unnecessarily before it's too late!!
More details
The country is currently in lockdown and shops selling non-essential goods MUST close to avoid spreading the virus, the government is still allowing companies to distribute non-essential goods online, this puts thousands of people and their families at risk of contracting the virus which is causing panic and unrest to the employees and families! All just to distribute non-essential goods! In a time where the world is on lockdown due to a serious pandemic!
