March 11 (Reuters) - G4S, one of the world's largest
private security firms, on Wednesday reported an annual
statutory loss after taking a 291 million pound ($374.75
million) charge chiefly related to its UK cash business.
The British contractor, which employs over half a million
people in 90 countries, a third of which in Asia, said it has
cut back operations in high risk areas to mitigate the spread of
the coronavirus but added that the impact so far has been
"immaterial".
