Marks & Spencer has taken action in response to the coronavirus pandemic.
Across the nation supermarkets are being stripped bare of essentials as customers panic-buy in the wake of the crises.
In response to this many supermarkets have limited products to a certain amount of units per person and changed their store opening hours to allow staff to stock up.
Marks & Spencer is the latest store to respond to the outbreak, and the high-street shop has put some wonderful measures in place to help out.
From March 20 M&S will set aside the first hour of trading on certain days for older and vulnerable customers, NHS staff and emergency workers.
They said: "Supporting our customers and communities during this difficult time is our number one priority. We want to make sure everyone has access to the items they need, so we are setting aside the first hour of trading on certain days for our older and vulnerable customers, and for our brilliant NHS and emergency workers."
The first hour of trading on Tuesdays and Fridays will be for NHS and emergency workers while older and vulnerable customers will get the first hour of trading on Mondays and Thursdays.
Marks & Spencer has also asked people to visit their website to find out the opening times of your local store.
The new guidelines do not include franchise stores in petrol and railway stations.
A spokesman said: "We ask our other customers to respect this request, as it's the kindness and support we show each other that will get us through this."
