Transcript:
The UK has recently entered its 3rd national lockdown, these levels of restrictions are similar to those offered by the first lockdown. This has been declared as a result of a new strain of coronavirus which has been shown to be a lot easier to spread, exactly how much more contagious it is, is still up for debate but scientists are working on studying this new strain which has shown to contain 17 differences from previous strains.
Whilst the lockdown has been put in place to avoid the NHS being completely overwhelmed by new admissions due to the new strain of COVID, what does this mean for the lives of the general public?
Well, the general government guidance states that, unless it is absolutely necessary, you are not to leave the house under any circumstances. This includes socialising, exercising or generally meeting with other people, you are permitted to go to work if it is essential, however if you are able to work from home then this is strongly encouraged.
As far as work is concerned, for many retail workers, their stores may be closed and so may not be able to work. The list of stores that will remain open are:
