Good news for those wishing to continue shopping online rather than visit the shops.

Delivery giant Hermes says it will create 10,500 jobs in the UK after seeing a surge in demand from people shopping from home during lockdown.

This will include 1,500 full-time roles across its delivery network and head office, and 9,000 freelance couriers.

Hermes also said it would not accept any money from the government's job retention bonus scheme, designed to help struggling firms.

It comes as a raft of companies make job cuts due to the pandemic.

Nobody is forcing you to use them. You still have the choice to wear a mask, go to the shops and mix perhaps with beachgoers.
