Wales’ largest shopping centre, St David’s Cardiff, has published a list of the shops and restaurants that have taken the decision to close.
In the wake of the coronavirus COVID-19 outbreak, businesses across the UK have taken the decision to the close the doors to customers. Some of the shops including Disney and Apple closed their doors last week, but following yesterday’s announcement by UK government, many other shops have now closed.
