McDonald’s is closing all of its UK and Ireland restaurants, the company announced this evening.
Every single branch will close indefinitely by tomorrow due to coronavirus.
They’ll be shut by 7pm tomorrow evening, with no option for delivery or drive-thru either.
The company said in a statement: “This is not a decision we are taking lightly, but one made with the wellbeing and safety of our employees in mind as well as the best interests of our customers.
“We will work with local community groups to responsibly distribute food and drink from our restaurants in the coming days.
“Thank you to our brilliant employees for their hard work during this incredibly challenging time. We look forward to seeing you all again as soon as it is safe for us to reopen.”
