First up @KEnenkel outlines the worst affected industries. Health 💊 essential retail 🛍️ are likely to be least affected, while aviation ✈️ is expected to be the most effected.

Next up @KEnenkel outlines the most and least economically affected cities by Covid. Oxford and Crawley are expected to be least affected, Luton and Crawley the most due to the importance of airports to the local economies.

Next up @MagriniElena sets out which cities and towns are best able to cope with lockdown.

First she talks about debt. 💷 People in cities in northern England and Wales have the most unsecured lending per adult, with Warrington at the very top. Higher debt leaves people more vulnerable to income shocks such as furlough or redundancy.

Look at debt levels in Sunderland and Exeter. For every £5 people earn in Sunderland, they owe £1 - double what people owe in Exeter. After Covid this debt to income rato is likely to increase as people's income go down. #CovidCities

. @MagriniElena tells us that all of the places that the Government wants to level up 🔼 are likely to be hardest bit by Covid.

The impact of school closures will also hit hardest in less affluent cities with more disadvantaged pupils such as Liverpool and Hull. This has bad consequences for social mobility.

To help people through Covid @MagriniElena says that they need: 1⃣ Welfare reform 2⃣ Debt support 3⃣ More investment in disadvantaged pupils #CovidCities

Next up @Paul_Swinney talks about whether are likely to shift to homeworking permanently after the crisis. He says no.

Not all jobs can be done effectively from home and it depends on the type of job. In cities such as London and Edinburgh around 4⃣0⃣% of people could work from home. But in places such as Doncaster and Burnley just 2⃣0⃣% of jobs could be done from home.

But while traditional working practices are likely to resume after lockdown, @Paul_Swinney tells us that policy makers are going to need to do a lot of thinking about how to do this safely - for example the use public transport 😷🚄 #CovidCities

. @Paul_Swinney suggests that cities are likely to see increases in walking 🚶‍♀️ cycling 🚴 and perhaps even the legalisation of e-scooters 🛴 as people avoid trains 🚆 and buses 🚍

So are these emergency Covid policies here for the long-term? @Paul_Swinney suggests it will be hard to reverse policies such as business rate relief BUT this creates an opportunity for the Government to reform the system entirely. #CovidCities
