Wellington businesses need help under Level 2

From First Up, 5:47 am on 29 June 2021

It has been an anxious wait for staff at the Highwater Eatery in Wellington who have been isolating since the restaurant was named as a location of interest. They've had to close completely as 11 out of the 16 staff were working on the night a Australian visitor with Covid-19 came for dinner. Highwater's Business manager Rachel Stevens told our producer Ellie Jay that whilst the Government's 'Covid Resurgence Payments' will help, they won't cover the cost of two weeks without trading.
