ErnestTurnip Posted March 23, 2020 Share Posted March 23, 2020 I'm guessing we will shut our shop but keep the warehouse and customer service open because the vast majority of the business is online and I'd guess the couriers will still be picking up.

It isn't that that only essential work is allowed, but travelling to work has to be essential to you - ie you can't work from home. That's the way i read it anyway. Clear as mud.
