Hotel industry body calling for pubs to reopen later this month under loosened restrictions

South Australian pubs, cafes and restaurants should be allowed to reopen before the end of the month under relaxed social-distancing restrictions, a peak industry group says.

"Ourselves, the clubs and the restaurant associations all think that [proposal] is really problematic because it greatly disadvantages smaller venues, country venues, cafes and things like that," he said. "With all the safety protocols in place … we're advocating a one in two [square metre rule]," he said.

They are not essential

Why not open pubs in schools

And the pubs are opening in the NT. OMG, that is one place they should never open🙂

Maybe the solution would be to remove all the pokies and allow people to use that extra space to increase patronage using the 4 square metre rules. pokiesbackin2021

It is time for people to be taking responsibility for themselves start opening up and give people the freedom to do what they are comfortable with

Well researched fact, alcohol will combat any virus or foreign germ in the human body.

People are over the bullshit & hype - hurry up !

Would be one of last places to open as they would not enforce social distancing !!

Too intoxicated to be infected.

Pubs should be opening again. If you go into a supermarket there are more people in there than the pub I go to.

How do you fill to 75% capacity and maintain 1.5 m ? Like they suggested 🤔

This ok but pubs not

Yes...sooner the better. I just don't know the reason behind continuing this insanity. If there's a 2nd wave, just got to bite the bullet & endure it because you don't want to pointlessly cause socioeconomic crisis. If 2nd wave erupts then that just proves lockdown is FAILURE.

No thanks. Drinks are cheaper at home. 🍹🍻

Does the hotel industry pay for private health insurance for their workers and patrons who will undoubtedly sue them.

Can confirm that the hotel industry have spoken to the CEO of covid19 and he said he'll stop transmitting himself to people at an arbitrary date tbd in later meetings.

Nope.

Naturally...stopping pouring booze into the punters is bad for business...Covid,what?..ahh fuck that..😡

Remember, never trust a capitalist with your health.
