Crowds at Broadway Market criticised during Italy coronavirus crisis

Original: This was earlier on at Broadway Market. Pretty irresponsible. Is no one reading the news from Italy? Why do people need

Photographs from Broadway Market in Hackney, east London showed busy crowds browsing stalls during the early days of the UK's coronavirus lockdown, prompting criticism that shoppers were acting irresponsibly while hospitals in Italy were being overwhelmed. Critics accused people of failing to follow social distancing guidance without being forced to, warning such behaviour risked damaging the NHS.

Why now: The crowded scenes contradicted stay-at-home guidance at a moment when Italy's crisis was a stark warning to the UK.
