The Victorian Automobile Chamber of Commerce (VACC) is warning automotive businesses to take all care to maximise social distancing in the running of their business following the Step 1 measures imposed by premier Daniel Andrews today.
The Premier’s announcement focused on limiting people’s attendance at social venues, including:
Advertisement
- Pubs, registered and licenced clubs (excluding bottle shops attached to these venues), hotels (excluding accommodation)
- Gyms and indoor sporting venues
- Cinemas, entertainment venues, casinos, and night clubs
- Restaurants and cafes will be restricted to takeaway and/or home delivery
- Religious gatherings, places of worship, weddings or funerals (in enclosed spaces and other than very small groups and where the 1 person per 4 square metre rule applies).
There are no fixed timelines attached to these restrictions being lifted.
“Unless automotive businesses fall into one of the above categories they can continue with the running of their businesses but with all care taken to maximise social distancing. Where staff can work from home employers should consider if this is an option for them,” says VACC.
