Amazon workers strike over virus protection
Pressure is building on Amazon and other delivery firms to improve protection for workers worried about getting infected with coronavirus.
Some workers at US food delivery firm Instacart and US and Italian workers at Amazon have walked out, complaining of inadequate protection.
US senators have also written to Amazon boss Jeff Bezos to express concerns.
The companies have said they are taking extra precautions, amid booming demand for delivery services due to the virus.
"We are going to great lengths to keep the buildings extremely clean and help employees practice important precautions such as social distancing and other measures", an Amazon spokesman said in a statement.
