As per news report of BBC, Allowing farms to operate again has been seen as essential to avoid food shortages. But some other measures announced last week, will not be implemented. This includes the delivery of non-essential items such as mobile phones, computers, and refrigerators by e-commerce firms - the government reversed its decision on that on Sunday.
