Pellegrinis Cafe and The Paperback book store are closed during lockdown due to the continuing spread of the coronavirus in Melbourne, Thursday, Aug. 6, 2020. Victoria state, Australia's coronavirus hot spot, announced on Monday that businesses will be closed and scaled down in a bid to curb the spread of the virus.
“The first time, everybody went: ‘Oh my god!’ and then everything turned out to be fine,” Collings said. “Right at the moment is slow and might be confusing, but I think that will take a day or so to sort out and things will move on, but clearly the business is not going to be the same through this lockdown,” van der Horst said.
The Melbourne lockdown is not only hitting the local economy. Melbourne usually accounts for a quarter of Australia’s economic activity. After enduring a second lockdown of four weeks, tougher restrictions have been imposed on Melbourne residents for another six weeks. Beef, lamb and pork production will be reduced by a third because of the virus transmission risks in abattoirs and meat processing plants. Poultry production will be reduced by 20%.
Desperation creeping in in response to whatever measures have been yet taken the increasing infection rate remains seemingly unaffected.
