Primark shoppers flocking to stores for 24-hour opening times will prompt a second Covid-19 lockdown in Britain, people have argued - even though the eye-catching queues were caused by social distancing measures inside stores. Online commenters fretted that massive queues could bring on another coronavirus lockdown, as people are spending long periods of time in the clothing shops. Communities minister Robert Jenrick announced the 24-hour rules earlier this week in an effort to spread out shopping times and lessen crowds. Primark fans were kept away for a month during England's lockdown and were keep to catch up on lost time, with winding queues outside stores in Trafford, Birmingham and Leeds. A total 11 Primark stores opening from 7am on Wednesday 2 December through until normal closing time on Thursday 3 December.
