BBC World Service - World Business Report, More shops temporarily close due to coronavirus concerns

McDonalds becomes the latest food outlet to temporarily close.

The Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development says the world will take years to recover from the coronavirus pandemic; we talk to Angel Gurria, secretary general of the OECD. Fast food chain McDonalds and retailers Primark and Timpsons join the list of shops temporarily closing their stores across the UK and outdoor specialist Osprey is another business that's been affected on a global scale. We speak to Jonathan Petty, Osprey's managing director for Europe. As more businesses play their part in stopping the spread of the virus, farmers warn about worker shortages, we hear from Mark Bridgeman, president of the Country Land and Business Association. Fresh figures this week will shine further light on how economies in Europe and America are coping with the coronavirus outbreak. Independent economist Michael Hughes tells us more. And depending on where you live and who you live with, it may be getting a little bit crowded and as routine goes out the window and everyone adjusts to a new way of working; psychotherapist and broadcaster Lucy Beresford says this can put a strain on relationships.
