Marlborough eateries take on level two challenges to reopen
Marlborough restaurants and hotels are grappling with the challenges to operate safely in alert level two.
Restaurants have started preparing to follow the Government’s “three S’s” rules of social distancing — seated, separated, and single-server, when the move to level two is permitted. The Government is due to announce that decision today.
The rules mean all patrons must be seated, there must be appropriate distancing between tables, and each table must have a single server, with no counter service available to minimise contact.
Marlborough Public House co-owner Paul Frost said his restaurant had a capacity of 200 customers but under the new rules he can only have 100 people in the venue, which meant only 85 customers and 15 staff.
Poll: Should the government levy industries that contribute to financial hardship?

One proposed solution? Small levies on industries that profit from financial hardship — like banks, casinos, and similar companies.
So we want to hear what you think:
Should the government ask these industries to contribute?

60.8% Yes, supporting people is important!
-
23.8% No, individuals should take responsibility
-
15.4% ... It is complicated
