Retail shop Matalan told its customers that it had reopened today after the government marked all shops selling homeware as 'essential'.
But what do you think...is it too soon?
Should Matalan be reopening? Will this give other retailers like Primark, who also have a homeware section, the green-light to swing open its doors?
