SAY NO TO MELBURNIANS: New COVID-19 restrictions, announced on Sunday, mean anyone wanting to sit in local hospitality businesses will need to prove they haven’t travelled from Melbourne before they are allowed to dine in. Hospitality workers like Myrtleford’s Café Fez supervisor, Graeme Scott, will wear the responsibility or risk a $10,000 fine. PHOTO: Ashleigh Piles
