Close non-essential large stores during level four Covid 19 outbreak in New Zealand

The issue

New Zealand is going into a level four lock down to try and stop the spread of covid 19 during which only essential services are running. The warehouse group and other large stores have announced they intend to keep their physical stores open. Allowing this to happen will be a public health disaster even with increased protection for staff and shoppers. These large companies also have online services which will still be running - there is absolutely no reason we need the physical stores open at level four. 

Please sign and share as we need to get this in place as soon as possible!
