MADRID (Reuters) - In a usually bustling Madrid street popular with the city's growing Chinese community, 14 of 17 Chinese-owned shops were closed on Wednesday, their shutters pulled down or notes stuck to window fronts saying the owners were away.

"I wanted to close as well but I'm staying open because people need masks, disinfectant and wipes," said Luna, 40, who works in one of the few Chinese stores still open.
