As Victoria s hospitality industry once again splits into Melbourne and regional, restaurant, cafe and pub owners are weary, stressed, angry and worried, though not exactly surprised. We have become a bit numb, says Mauro Callegari from Gembrook s The Independent. We get another punch and we just have to take it. He wasn t shocked that the Melbourne lockdown was extended a week. I was expecting it and I believe it is going to be another week on top of this, he says.
There s small comfort in the easing of the five kilometre travel rule to 10 kilometres. Where we are on the edge of the city, it might help a little bit with increased takeaway business – this week has been very quiet, he says.
