The hospitality industry is braced to take a massive hit from the disruption caused by Covid-19, with an estimated $10 million dollars being lost each week as it drags on.

The Restaurant Association says 200 member restaurants are on the brink of having to shut up shop for good.

A ban on gatherings spelled the end of the Auckland Night Market, which announced this week it would close temporarily.
