For the second time this year, Melbourne cafe owner Vivianne Hadla has packed away her tables, cut her trading hours and resumed serving only takeaway food and coffees to her customers.

She named her business, Hoffman's Rd Milk Bar Cafe, after the road which now divides one of Melbourne's coronavirus "hotspot" suburbs, Niddrie, from the neighbouring suburb of Essendon, where businesses have not been forced to go into a second lockdown.
