MELBOURNE, AUSTRALIA - June 01: From left, Rod McQueen, Paul Johnson and Simon Beasley enjoy a beer together for the first time in three months in the Emerald Hotel in South Melbourne now that bars, cafes and restaurants are once again allowed to open for up to 20 patrons at time from today as COVID-19 restrictions ease on 01 June, 2020 in Melbourne, Australia. Victoria is open for business as cafes, bars and restaurants once again open their doors for a maximum of 20 sit down patrons from today. The Victorian Premier Daniel Andrews, announced on the 16th May that all cafes, restaurants and bars will be able to reopen for up to 20 patrons per enclosed space from the 1st of June and then a further easing of restrictions to 50 patrons on the 22nd of June. It comes as welcome news to the hospitality industry as it reels under the COVID-19 restrictions imposed on it for the past 3 months. Many will never trade again, and many are unable to open with so few patrons allowed and plan to wait for the next lifting of restrictions allowing 50 customers at any one time.
