Small businesses and the arts and entertainment industry in Western Australia have suffered a blow, as the latest coronavirus scare sends Perth and surrounding areas into a five-day hard lockdown.
Fringe World, which is Western Australia’s largest annual arts event, has cancelled performances and closed its venues for five days, or until the lockdown lifts.
The festival showcases independent artists and companies, from cabaret to stand-up, across more than one hundred venues between mid-January to February 14, and boasts a range of food and drink options in its festival hubs.
