Here are the industries closing for Melbourne’s stage 4 lockdown:
All retail stores will be required to close, except for:
-Supermarkets and grocery stores
-Bottle shops

About a quarter of a million Victorians will be stood down from their jobs or told to stay home from work, as entire industries across Melbourne are ordered to close to stop the spread of COVID-19. That’s on top of the 500,000 people who are already working from home, and 250,000 others stood down earlier in the crisis. Many other businesses will have to operate at reduced capacity and with fewer staff when the restrictions take effect on Thursday.
It is tough! But this is the only way we can beat the spread of the virus. Let’s do it Victorians! BMC https://apple.news/AEaOwL8w2QJKGiu1KUc4NRw
