What safety measure will be in place?
McDonalds are taking a number of steps to help protect customers and staff, including running reduced hours and serving a reduced menu.
The fast food chain will also have fewer people working on each shift, and we will be introducing new measures including additional screens in kitchen and service areas to help staff follow social distancing rules.
Contactless payment methods will also be encouraged, but spending will be capped at £25.
