B&q are taking no precautions for this virus. It's all about profit and not the welfare of staff. It's shocking they need to shut,they are boasting about the profits they are making because people are not staying at home ! Please HELP

    Loads of other stores are still opening.   M&S, Boots House of Fraser, Debenhams, JD Sports etc.

    Please help what?   If people are coming in to shop of course many will want to stay open.

    B&Q probably have increased footfall as people are forseeing an extended time stuck in their house so are getting all of their stuff together to get diy and renovations done. 

    They also sell bits of ppe such as gloves and masks. If you don’t wanna be exposed don't shop their. If you work there and feel you're at risk then self isolate

    Sounds like you want some time off work
