Hardware stores may reopen during lockdown
Tradesmen should find it easier to do emergency repairs now in the second phase of the lockdown.
Regulations have been relaxed to allow for the sale of hardware products and motor vehicle components to essential workers.
But they will have to show the necessary permits first.
Plumbers, electricians, locksmiths and roof repairmen.
They are among those who will be allowed to buy from hardware stores under amended regulations.
But still, no items such as paint are allowed to be sold.
Even smaller hardware stores like this, are keeping records of all customers, and what they buy.
