The Victorian Government continue to force workers to work from home if they can, under threat of prosecution, which is seeing historically low foot traffic in the CBD forcing many business to delay opening, or permanently closing due to lack of business. Many of these businesses rely on tourism, sporting events and commuters to remain viable.
