The Daily PollPoll: Are you doing more online shopping than normal during the Covid-19 crisis?

LOTS OF PEOPLE are turning to online shopping – for groceries and other items – amid the Covid-19 crisis.
For many businesses, online shopping has been a lifeline as they’ve had to shut their physical premises.
Meanwhile, some supermarkets have asked people who are able to go to a shop to leave online delivery slots for older or vulnerable people.
