A view of a deserted Lygon Street during COVID-19 in Melbourne, Australia. Little Italy in Lygon Street continues to crumble where over 22 premises which were once bustling cafe's and restaurants are empty and looking for new tenants. As Stage 4 restrictions strangle the city of Melbourne, business are falling like flies and once iconic streets such as Lygon remain deserted. Respite looks to be unlikely as a further 394 new Coronavirus cases were uncovered overnight along with the 17 deaths, Victoria's deadliest since the crisis began.
