Update: Financial market sell-offs continue

As market sell-offs continue we get the latest from Susan Schmidt at Aviva Investors. American car makers temporarily shut factories to protect workers from the spread of covid19; we hear from Paul Eisenstein, editor in chief of the industry site The Detroit Bureau. Italy is by no means the only country where people are staying indoors to curb the spread of coronavirus. In the UK, from next week schools will be closed, which could pose a whole new set of challenges for parents, including Lottie Dunham, a project manager from Manchester.
