A notice informs customers of the temporary closure of a clothing store, shut over coronavirus concerns, on Carnaby Street in London, England, on March 21, 2020. Much of central London was virtually empty today, a day after British Prime Minister Boris Johnson ordered the closure of all pubs, bars, cafes and restaurants around the country. The move represents a toughening of measures to enforce the 'social distancing' that is being urged on citizens to reduce the growth of covid-19 coronavirus infections. Nightclubs, theatres, cinemas, gyms and leisure centres were also ordered closed. Some shops in the centre of capital remained open today, albeit mostly deserted of customers; many retailers however have temporarily closed their doors until the crisis abates.

Retail staff talk with one another in the cosmetics section of a near-deserted branch of department store House of Fraser on Victoria Street in London, England, on March 20, 2020. In the UK it has been revealed today that the government's Scientific Advisory Group for Emergencies (SAGE) has recommended keeping some form of 'social distancing' measures in place for most of a year, with alternating periods of less and more strict restrictions over that time, in order to manage the spread of the covid-19 coronavirus and prevent an overwhelming of hospitals. Schools are meanwhile closing today across the country until further notice, with exceptions for vulnerable children and children with at least one parent designated a 'key worker'.
