Machine operators in pubs and bars in Belgium and Germany are taking a hit from coronavirus precautions.
Cafes and bars in Brussels have closed for a month following direct action by the Belgian government because of a rapid escalation in the incidence of infection.
The venues closed from 7am yesterday. Drinking in public places is also banned although restaurants are to remain open.
In Germany an 11pm curfew has been imposed on restaurants, pubs and shops. In Frankfurt a local ruling closes restaurants and pubs at 10pm.
