A supermarket giant has said it was working with the Government to help get supplies to those in need.
Asda said it will be using the Government’s data on people vulnerable to coronavirus to help them get the supplies they need.
A spokesman said the supermarket is “working with Government and some of our fellow supermarkets to ensure those people who have been identified as highly vulnerable get what they need and are protected from Covid-19”.
He added: “We have a dedicated team who will work with Government on the available data to support as many extremely vulnerable people as we can – whilst also continuing to ensure our stores are stocked and our deliveries are moving for millions of customers nationwide.”
