McDonalds will close their restaurants across the UK and Ireland by 19:00 GMT on Monday 23 March.
The fast food giant said the decision was “not taken lightly” and was made “with the well-being and safety of our employees in mind, as well as in the best interests of our customers”.
In a post on Twitter, they thanked their “brilliant employees for their hard work” and said the restaurants would re-open “as soon as it is safe”.
