Coronavirus: McDonald's In Ashby To Close By Monday Evening

By Graham Hill   22nd Mar 2020

McDonald's in Ashby will close by 7pm on Monday.

All the fast-food chain's restaurants in the UK and Ireland are shutting as a result of the coronavirus outbreak.

However, the company has pledged to work with community groups to distribute food and drink.

The Ashby fast-food outlet, based at Lountside by the A42 juction, will shut down completely in less than 24 hours' time after announcing last week that its seating areas would be closed off due to the spread of the bug.

The move comes after the Government ordered restaurants, cafes, pubs and other public places to close in a bid to stem the spread of the disease.

A spokesman said: "We have taken the difficult decision to close all McDonald's restaurants in the UK and Ireland by 7pm on Monday, 23 March at the latest.

"This is not a decision we are taking lightly, but one made with the well-being and safety of our employees in mind as well as in the best interests of our customers.

"We will work with 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's safe for us to reopen."
