Busker plays his guitar on a famous but deserted corner at Columbia Road flower market on Mothers Day, and its last open Sunday for a while due to Covid-19 on what would normally be a busy, bustling market day with hoards of people out to buy flowers and socialise, the numbers of people out is a fraction of a regular Sunday on 22nd March 2020 in London, England, United Kingdom. All of the East End Sunday markets have been affected by the Coronavirus outbreak, with some completely closed and some currently partially open. Coronavirus or Covid-19 is a new respiratory illness that has not previously been seen in humans. While much or Europe has been placed into lockdown, the UK government has announced more stringent rules as part of their long term strategy, and in particular social distancing.
