All but three of Tritax's properties remain open and operating. The company expects to have collected 96% of the rent that was due by 1 April by the end of May, with discussions around the final 4% ongoing. .......................................................
....................................However, given the uncertainty around the eventual impact of coronavirus the board has taken the decision to withdraw its previous guidance for a 7p dividend in 2020. Instead it has confirmed a first quarter dividend of 1.5625p per share, which would equate to a full year payment of 6.25p if repeated in each quarter for the year.

Well I guess in this climate a cut, rather than cancellation, is a relative positive.
