Online retail giant ASOS has issued a statement to its shoppers in the wake of the coronavirus outbreak.
Many shops have closed as the deadly virus continues to gather pace, with huge events including Glastonbury Festival and the Grand National cancelled as the public tries to cope with the illness.
In Liverpool ONE, shops including Urban Outfitters, the Apple store and Hollister Co. are currently closed, while Disney stores across the country have shut too.
ASOS CEO Nick Beighton addressed shoppers in a heartfelt email.
In it, the CEO said: “The coronavirus impacts every person, every town, every nation and every business around the world.
“So, I think it's important to share some of the steps we're taking at ASOS to keep things running as normal as possible for you, so you can carry on making orders and receiving your ASOS deliveries.
