A FASHION giant has spoken out on whether its stores will reopen in June.

Primark said its shops will be closed “until further” notice in a newly-published notice on its website.

“We are following advice from the World Health Organisation as well as local and national government and health authorities,” the notice read.

“With the health and safety of our staff and customers in front of mind, our stores are closed until further notice.”

The news comes as the Government revealed plans yesterday to allow “non-essential” shops to reopen from June 15.

Outdoor markets and car showrooms are set to be allowed to open from Monday.
