Corona virus news:

The scale of the global economic damage from the corona virus outbreak is becoming clearer after early warning signs showed the steepest plunge in business activity ever recorded in Britain, Japan and the euro zone.

As more countries shut down large parts of their economies to contain the spread of the virus, the purchasing managers indices (PMI) for several of the world's biggest economies fell to the lowest levels since records began more than two decades ago.
