Amazon will close its warehouses in France until at least early next week after a court ordered it to limit deliveries to essential goods such as food and medical supplies.

In an internal document sent to French unions ahead of a meeting on Wednesday afternoon, Amazon said it planned to close the country’s six warehouses, which employ 10,000 permanent and interim workers, from April 16 until April 20 at least.
