Wikipedia: Key worker
A key worker or critical worker is a public-sector or private-sector employee who is considered to provide an essential service. The term has been used[when?] in the United Kingdom in the context of workers who may find it difficult to buy property in the area where they work. The term was also used by the UK government during announcements regarding school shutdowns invoked in response to the Coronavirus disease 2019 to indicate parents whose occupations entitled them to continue sending their children to schools which were otherwise shut down by government policy, as well as teachers and LSAs at those schools.
 
Wikipedia: 2019-20 coronavirus outbreak

Timpsons is shutting for the foreseeable future though they’ve said their locksmiths business will remain open. That’s obviously because they are key workers.
