There's 'zero prospect' of banning travel in and out of London, the UK government says a day after Prime Minister Boris Johnson declined to rule out stricter measures for the city
New York restaurant group lays off around 2,000 people after "near complete elimination of revenue"The high-profile New York restaurant group which runs the city's Union Square Cafe is slashing its workforce by 80% and laying off around 2,000 people in the wake of coronavirus-related closures.
"We have laid off more people today that we probably hired in the first 20-25 years we were in business. I cannot believe those words have just come out of my mouth," USHG Chief Executive Danny Meyer said in an emotional video message to staff. The company operates restaurants and event businesses in New York, Las Vegas, Washington DC and other cities. Meyer opened Union Square Cafe in 1985.
Meyer will forgo his salary and members of the executive team will take pay cuts, which will go into an employee relief fund with other donations.
