The nation was put into lockdown on 23 March 2020 in an unprecedented step to attempt to limit the spread of Corona Virus Disease 2019 (COVID-19). People were required to leave their homes only for going to work, essential shopping, medical appointments and daily exercise. Many businesses were ordered to be closed to maintain physical distancing. The pandemic is, of course, worldwide and UNICEF has embarked upon a poster information campaign to highlight the extra difficulties of fighting the virus in a war zone. Displayed on bus shelter outside the Woodford Centre, Holderness Road.
