Home furniture retailer Ikea has announced it is closing all of its 海角视频 and Ireland stores from tomorrow night as a result of the coronavirus crisis.
The company said it would continue offering online sales and delivering products directly to consumers.
This latest move mirrors that of several other household names including Selfridges which has closed its four 海角视频 stores.
A statement from Peter Jelkeby, Ikea's retail manager and chief sustainability officer for the 海角视频 and Ireland, said: "These are extraordinary times and...our thoughts are with all those affected and the people working tirelessly to care for them.
"We are guided in our decisions by the directions from the Government, by our global company direction and by our strong set of Ikea principles and values.
"The health and safety of our customers and co-workers across the 海角视频 and Ireland is our main priority.
"As a precautionary measure against the ongoing risk of covid-19, we have decided that at 6pm on Friday March 20, we will temporarily close all the Ikea stores across the 海角视频 and Ireland to customers.
"You will continue to be able to browse and purchase our range online or through the app and have our products delivered directly.
