As Britain enters a period of deep recession, as the economic downturn caused by the Covid-19 pandemic cuts, shoppers wearing face masks continue to come to the West End to the exclusive high end fashion shops on Bond Street on 13th August 2020 in London, United Kingdom. The Office for National Statistics / ONS has announced that gross domestic product / GDP, the widest gauge of economic health, fell by 20.4% in the second quarter of the year, compared with the previous quarter. This is the biggest decline since records began. The result is that Britain has officially entered recession, as the UK economy shrank more than any other major economy during the coronavirus outbreak.
