Eerie video shows empty Meadowhall as shoppers stay home amid coronavirus fears
This video shows an near-empty Meadowhall, as the number of people going out shopping in Sheffield declines as people follow advice to self-isolate.
Earlier today the shopping centre announced that all events it was scheduled to host would be postponed.
However, in line with government guidelines, the mall remains open for the time being.
A statement from the shopping centre said: “We understand that this is a difficult time, and want to reassure you that the wellbeing of our teams, retailers and customers is our priority.“In line with Government guidance, our centre remains open. The evolving nature of the situation makes some disruption inevitable and we apologise if this causes inconvenience.
“To reassure visitors, we have enhanced our already stringent cleaning protocols and postponed our events schedule.
“The policies and opening times of individual stores will vary - so we always recommend that our customers check directly with retailers prior to setting off.”
