In addition, because they have not been ordered to close, business interruption insurance will not pay out.

However, because they have now said that everyone must cease all social contact and avoid unneccesary travel, I suspect that most venues will not find it cost effective to open.

Adult children tend to take their mothers out for a meal on mother's day, meaning that a sizeable chunk will have a mother who is mature in years.who may now be too afraid to go out to eat.
