Cafes, pubs, restaurants prepare for a new normal but Melbourne's nightlife 'under serious threat'

From June 1, hospitality venues that serve food will be able to seat 20 patrons under strict conditions

"To have a well-structured pathway back to normality is exciting for both the ownership group and the staff," Mr Rowley said. "It's really helped us keep ticking along, if JobKeeper stays around we should be able to get out of this." "We can start putting in hygiene practices now and those sorts of measures that we wouldn't have had pre-COVID. The ability to test and learn that before full capacity is the real attribute of this plan and something we'll be working towards as a group so we can scale up without making heavy losses."Paddy O'Sullivan is the chief executive of Australian Hotels Association Victoria, the peak body for pubs in the state, and said today was "a great day".

Paul Waterson, chief executive of the Australian Venue Company, said while having 20 patrons wasn't profitable, it was a great start.

ABC stop pushing this new normal agenda. Don’t you have any shame?

I can't see how kitchens can keep a 1.5m separation between kitchen staff. Couldn't happen in any of the kitchens I've cooked in.

There's nothing 'normal', when people's livelihoods, their lives and the entire socioeconomic well being of a society is 'under serious threat', instead it's called ABNORMAL, unless you're a sadistic psychopath, as only such deplorable ones will call it the 'new normal'.

Please stop the 'new normal' crap. There is only normal and abnormal.
