The Goa Chamber of Commerce and (GCCI) has written to chief minister Pramod Sawant asking the State Government to consider retailers and distributors as frontlineCovidwarriors and to prioritise the retail sector in the vaccination drive.
The GCCI has asked the government to prepare a vaccination plan as per priority for frontline workers and to keep dedicated stocks of the vaccine for retailers.
The GCCI has pointed out that retailers meet around 50 to 100 customers on a daily basis and have a high chance of getting infected as they cannot ensure stringent and consistent Covid protocols at all times.
