Thousands of people and businesses have lost out due to the pandemic – including retailers, hospitality workers and those in the tourism industry.

Prime Minister Scott Morrison introduced changes to the way Australians live in order to combat the deadly respiratory illness, including limiting public outings to essential travel, closing the borders and dismantling almost all social activities.
