SYDNEY: Australia's most populous state said on Friday restrictions imposed to slow the spread of coronavirus will be eased to allow cafes and restaurants to have up to 50 patrons from Jun 1.

We don't want to see that continue," Berejiklian told reporters in Sydney.
Australia's hospitality industry has been one of the hardest hit by social distancing restrictions imposed in March to slow the spread of coronavirus.Advertisement
