Supermarket tells NHS workers they 'must buy ANYTHING they touch in store'
Supermarket chain Iceland told NHS workers they must buy anything they touch in store, to stop the spread of coronavirus.
The chain has now apologised after a huge online backlash to the guidance it posted on its website.
The policy appeared on the supermarket's website under a section which details special hours for NHS workers during the coronavirus outbreak.
Hi, this was an error & should not have been posted on our website. We sincerely apologise for the offence this has caused, & have immediately withdrawn this guidance. We're deeply grateful to the NHS & all key workers for everything they're doing to keep the country running.
