HMRC has provided some guidance here on the meaning of ‘adversely affected’.

HMRC advise your business could be adversely affected by coronavirus if, for example:

  • you’re unable to work because you:
    • are shielding 
    • are self-isolating 
    • are on sick leave because of coronavirus 
    • have caring responsibilities because of coronavirus 
  • you’ve had to scale down or temporarily stop trading because:
    • your supply chain has been interrupted 
    • you have fewer or no customers or clients 
    • your staff are unable to come in to work

We will be updating it regularly as we continue to monitor and digest all the latest information
