Hi, it's Adam here, standing outside our office in Brussels where I am as usual,

It is so, so quiet and so, so strange,

So there are no bars, no restaurants, no cafes.

We don't know when they're ever going to open again.

The only shops that were open at the weekend were the supermarkets and the pharmacies.

And that's kind of where the UK is heading now after the Prime Minister Boris Johnson announced

some really big dramatic changes

to how the country's going to operate to try and stop the spread of the virus

I got some test results back for coronavirus and it came back positive.
