While supermarkets and pharmacies will never close, shops most of us frequent will be closing.
This includes clothing and homeware stores, vehicle showrooms (other than for rental), betting shops, tailors, tobacco and vape shops, electronic goods and mobile phone shops, and market
stalls selling non-essential goods.

close.
