Melbourne businesses concerned with new COVID-19 restrictions
Melbourne business owners are clenching their fists as the local state government announces new restrictions
The second most populated city in Australia is again dealing with a coronavirus outbreak, with five cases so far confirmed by authorities.
New restrictions will come into force from 6pm on Tuesday, May 25.
Those restrictions include gatherings of no more than five people in a private home. Public gatherings are also limited to 30. Face masks will also be required indoors for those aged 12 years and older.
Schools and workplaces will remain open.
State Government officials confirmed genomic sequencing for the Melbourne northern suburbs outbreak shows it is “closely linked” to a case detected weeks ago. It’s also understood the virus made its way back into the state of Victoria via a person travelling from South Australia.
Melbourne last year went through one of the harshest lockdowns imposed throughout the entire world.
Thousands lost their jobs and hundreds of businesses struggled to survive after what was supposed to be a three-week lockdown, dragged on for 112 days.
Melbourne businesses have contacted Ticker News to express their concern with the latest restrictions imposed by the Victorian State Government, but are hopeful the cluster can be managed and business won’t be disrupted.
Australia’s multimillion-dollar campaign to attract Hollywood productions to its shores appears to be paying off.
The allure of Australia lies not only in its picturesque locations but also in its competitive financial incentives.
The government offers generous rebates and tax breaks to international productions, making it an attractive proposition for filmmakers looking to maximise their budgets.
Despite the recent intake of Hollywood productions down under such as ‘The Fall Guy’ and ‘Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga’, Aussie independents are still finding the space to carve their own creative path.
Rob Fantozzi joined the program to discuss the latest in Hollywood, and showcased his own upcoming project – ‘Omerta‘. #featured
