The operator of Sydney s Opera Bar and The Golden Sheaf watering holes says it s had about 2500 cancellations across its venues following the recent COVID-19 outbreak and the new restrictions for New Year s Eve.
NSW halved the capacity restrictions for venues as the northern beaches cluster spread across Sydney. While pubs and clubs were limited to one person per 2 square metres without upper customer limits earlier in December, they can now have only one person every 4 square metres, with numbers capped at 300.
Justine Baker supported the NSW government s approach to only lockdown hotspot suburbs on the northern beaches rather than the entire city.
One of the highlights of the year for the Weyburn Chamber was how businesses had worked together to withstand the headwinds of the pandemic. “Many collaborated in innovative ways to access personal protective equipment in order to save money. Others focused on their business so they could provide curbside and touchless pickup for their customers,” said Walkeden. It was also great to see members of the general public finding ways to support those who were on the front lines. “A great example was the support that Melissa Carson gave, who provided much-needed meals for truckers going through Weyburn who were unable to access restaurants. Over a span of weeks, Melissa served over 900 meals and was recognized provincially for her dedication through the Saskatchewan Chamber and Conexus Credit Union.”
