WARSAW, April 17 (Xinhua) With another partial COVID-19 lockdown in full swing in Poland, gastronomic businesses are in dire financial troubles, with many, despite government aid, facing bankruptcy.
Michal Maciag, a bar owner in central Warsaw, had lost three businesses and had to layoff most of his 70 employees since the start of the pandemic. Now a year after the pandemic and related restrictions, he is sure he won t be able to keep PiwPaw.
PiwPaw is one of thousands of businesses that got into deep financial problems due to the pandemic. Pubs have been closed forcibly, while restaurants are only allowed to offer takeaway meals. For most, it s not enough to keep afloat.
