The MMA is continuing with our own internal investigations, reviewing CCTV footage. We’re also working with the DHHS as they continue their contact tracing process. We will provide any further updates as they become available. We understand that this directive will affect several businesses, and many market users will be unable to attend the site, but you must follow these directions. The implications of further COVID cases in the Market could force additional closures and negatively impact the fresh produce supply chain. Now more than ever, we must work together, do the right thing and follow COVIDSafe practices. – Wear your face mask over your mouth and nose at all times – Ensure you are keeping 1.5 metres from others – Do not shake hands or come into close contact with others.
