“This is a really scary time for everyone, especially for people who have lost their job in the past 24 hours,” cafe manager Nathalie Pavlides said.

“So many of our friends in hospitality have no income.

“After we packed up our tables on Monday we sat down and decided how we could turn lemons into lemonade.”
