“So we're responding by introducing an NHS hour at all our stores every day, Monday to Saturday from 7am to 8am, so they can shop for groceries for themselves and their family.”

The firm’s stores will be open as normal on Sundays.

Yesterday, the Government urged people to shop responsibly and think of others.
