As NSW loosens its COVID-19 restrictions from Friday, a small number of Sydney's cultural clubs are starting to reopen their doors.
"It was really hard for our community ... A lot of people are used to their routines. We have an important social role," club president Miguel Vairinhos told SBS News.The club's restaurant is set to reopen Monday, adhering to the 10-person limit and adding a takeaway option. President of the Russian Club in Strathfield Nick Pitchuev told SBS News it didn't make financial sense to reopen with the current limit of 10 people."Until they actually lift more restrictions … Up to 50, maybe we'll start operating again. And if the next stage lets us open the bar up, then we will consider it."The Russian Club has now been closed for almost two months, which Mr Pitchuev called a"terrible" period.
"We're going to wait for restrictions to ease up a bit more. If we open the doors, it's hard to gauge which 10 people get to go in," he said. The limit of two visitors per household will be increased to five and outdoor gatherings of up to 10 people are now permitted.Religious gatherings and places of worship can welcome up to 10 people while restaurants and cafes can have up to 10 patrons as long as they maintain social distancing.Outdoor equipment including gyms and playgrounds can be used with caution, with people encouraged to wipe down the equipment, while outdoor pools are open with restrictions.
"That's OK, so long as we ensure the vulnerable are protected, so long as we ensure people can get the healthcare they need which we will - we've nearly tripled our intensive care capacity."
Gobsmacked at how unthinking people are when space is limited. Five tables, two already occupied by two people each when I arrived, clearly had already finished their coffee, still there chatting when I left 20+ minutes later
That’s not actually correct. Pubs and Cluvs are not open, just their seated dining areas with a limit of 10 people
And that is totally viable. No idea as to how numbers/costs work.

Dining areas in NSW pubs and clubs will re-open on Friday, treasurer confirmsNSW Treasurer Dominic Perrottet has confirmed people in the state will on Friday be able to return to their favourite pubs and clubs, but only for food service. Dumbest decision I’ve seen. Ever... How much does Mr. Perrottet think it costs per hour to open one of these businesses? How much does he think the turnover will be from 10 punters at a time? And he’s our treasurer! FMD.

HOW MANY INFECTIONS IN TENNANT CREEK? Very few large restaurants and/or pubs will be able to make a profit with 10 people inside the restaurant.
