MHRA suggests restaurants open as of next Monday

MHRA suggests restaurants open as of next Monday
Apr 22 2021 Share

Due to the pandemic’s effect on restaurants and the overall economy, the Malta Hotels and Restaurant Association (MHRA) issued a statement requesting the government to open restaurants, including those in hotels, on Monday 26th. Being one of the businesses hit the worst by the pandemic, the MHRA is calling for the reopening so as to safeguard the financial and personal livelihoods of all business owners.

With tourism set to restart by the beginning of June, restaurants would play a crucial role in Malta’s economy. But the employers and employees within restaurants are suffering immensely, with many taking to social media to specify exactly how much damage the closing has done. Managing reopening will of course be vital so as to avoid any spike in cases, but the necessity of reopening for the owners involved is crucial.
