There is a beautician a few doors down from me. She is still giving manicures. It will be interesting to she how she fairs.

A nationwide crackdown on social gatherings will be expanded in a bid to slow the spread of coronavirus.

Prime Minister Scotty from Marketing announced the new restrictions late on Tuesday following a National Cabinet conference call with state and territory leaders. It is appparent that the States want to move faster than the Federal government does.

From midnight Wednesday, these activities and businesses will no longer be allowed to continue:

• Amusement parks and arcades
• Indoor and outdoor play centres
• Community and recreation centres, health clubs, fitness centres, yoga, barre, spin facilities, saunas, wellness centres
• Public swimming pools
• Galleries, museums, national institutions, historic sites, libraries, community centres
• Auction houses
• Real estate auctions and open house inspections
• In-store beauty therapy, tanning, waxing, nail salons and tattoo parlours, spa and massage parlours (excluding allied-health-related services, like physiotherapy)
• Food courts within shopping centres will only be able to sell takeaway. Shopping centres themselves will remain open
  

Some activities will be restricted:

• Hairdressers and barber shops can continue, but a customer must not be on the premises longer than 30 minutes
• Personal training and boot camps are limited to a maximum of 10 people
• Weddings can continue, but only with the couple, the celebrant, and witnesses — totalling a maximum of five people
• Funerals are limited to a maximum of 10 people
• Outdoor and indoor food markets will be addressed by individual states and territories
  

Note - have your wedding at a Boot camp or a funeral you can have more attendees

Re: Chinese Coronavirus

Its only 1 metre to the edge if you stand at the centre of the 4 sq m. but that is a the calculation you do to find how many people are allowed in a given space. Social distancing here is 1.5m

ie shop 5m by 6m can allow 7 people inside including staff.

I would have thought the idea of doing a woman's hair within 30 minutes would be more of a challenge than standing 1.5m away

My ex wife always reckoned I looked like a beggar anyway so no change there.

Re: Chinese Coronavirus

I was thinking today, another good side to this lockdown is that one can be as scruffy as one likes, knowing full well there shouldn't be any unannounced visitors to see what a mess we might look

Re: Chinese Coronavirus

Indeed. Marge and I sometimes walk about in the altogether without batting an eyelid.

Of course, if the postman should arrive with a parcel, all hell is let loose.
