Rejected petition Support efforts to ensure that only essential products are available in supermarkets in lockdown

The Welsh Government is doing its utmost to keep us safe during the pandemic and petitions and protests to the contrary suggest that the people of Wales don’t support their actions. The priority has to be people’s health and a lockdown of this type is a short but effective way of doing that - it is probably also better for the economy in the long term. All non essential items can still be bought online if there is an urgency.
