MELBOURNE, AUSTRALIA - MARCH 29: A food delivery driver wearing a face mask rides past the Myer Bourke Street department store on March 29, 2020 in Melbourne, Australia. The Australian department store announced it would be temporarily shutting down all Australian stores due to COVID-19 from Sunday until at least 27 April 2020. Around 10,000 staff will be stood down without pay during that time. Myer's closure comes as many other well known stores shut down as the coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak and new social distancing measures take a toll on the retail industry.
