由于担心感染冠状病毒，麦当劳将关闭英国和爱尔兰的所有餐厅

McDonald's says it has taken the "difficult decision" to close all its restaurants in the UK and Ireland by 7pm on Monday (UK time) at the latest.

麦当劳表示，它做出了一个“艰难的决定”，最迟在英国时间周一晚上7点关闭其在英国和爱尔兰的所有餐厅。

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

该公司表示:“这不是一个我们轻易做出的决定，而是考虑到员工的福祉和安全，以及客户的最大利益做出的决定。”

We will work with local community groups to responsibly distribute food and drink from our restaurants in the coming days.

“未来几天，我们将与当地社区团体合作，负责分发我们餐厅的食物和饮料。

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 is safe for us to reopen."

“感谢我们优秀的员工在这充满挑战的时刻所付出的努力。我们期待着在安全的情况下重新开业后再见到你们。”
