Restaurants are going to extreme lengths to make customers feel safe from COVID-19 and get bums on seats. All states require diners to each get four square metres of space in an establishment, except for WA, which has a two-square-metre rule. Australian restaurants have also introduced disposable menus to minimise contact between diners and temperature checks to filter out sick people. South Australia allows up to 80 diners split into groups of 20 in seperate areas with four square metres each. In the NT, restaurants can take as many diners as they want provided the premises is big enough for four square metres per diner.
