When arriving at gate for our ZZZ-ZZZ1 flight; the Purser told the CS agent we needed a few minutes so we could do our required Safety duties (FA briefing which is required per safety checklist. Safety checks (which company says can be done during boarding which isn't the safest during COVID time); be at the boarding door after putting our bags away; get customer wipes for customers company's COVID safety protocol. The agent was told by inflight Supervisor X;  ZZZ; to begin boarding  on top of the flight attendants boarding the plane. When questioning Supervisor X about not giving us time to do our required safety duties Supervisor X's answer was 'We can't hold boarding on a quick turn.'  I understand we all want an on-time operation but that shouldn't come at the cost of safety.  Even the Captain was amazed that we were not given time to do our safety duties.I would like to know if flight attendants are required to brief as stated on the safety checklist or not; and if we are required to brief why are we not given the time to brief when we ask for 2 minutes. If we are not required to brief then please alter the safety checklist.What happened to safety is our top priority?
