A UK supermarket is announcing a 10 per cent discount on shopping for all NHS workers to support them through the Covid-19 pandemic.

The discount, offered by Morrisons, will come into action on Thursday and will last until July 12.

David Potts, Morrisons Chief Executive said: “This discount is our thank you to all those working in the National Health Service at this very difficult time.

“We are giving them our full support and gratitude as they continue to care for and support the nation during the Covid-19 pandemic.”

The discount for NHS staff is the latest measure being introduced by Morrisons who continue to play their full part in feeding the nation and support those battling the coronavirus outbreak.

The other measures include the NHS shopping hour at the beginning of every day from 6-7am, and 9-9.30am on Sundays and the NHS food boxes - a click and collect food box service from hospital car parks to give NHS staff easy access to essential groceries.

Valid NHS ID must be shown.
