What the latest easing of restrictions mean for Hester Canterbury

• Face Coverings mandatory indoors still and include settings such as public transport and shopping. Not required for outside unless you cannot maintain physical distancing. Requirements to carry masks at all times.
• Public gatherings up to 50 people can gather outdoors from any number of households ( Hester Christmas drinks are a go ! )
• Private Gatherings up to 15 visitors per day can visit a household either together or separately. Face masks are recommended when physical distancing cannot be maintained. Keeping a record of visitors is advised.
• Private Contractors such as cleaners may enter your home on the proviso that only one apartment is cleaned a day, all conditions of entry for Hester Canterbury are complied with (please see last week’s newsletter – November 18), and finally the use of equipment is compliant with government stipulations (please refer to last week’s newsletter).
• Unfortunately skate parks and trampoline centres are still restricted to those under 18 years of age.

Sincere congratulations for staying the “hard yard”; our record of zero cases (no deaths, no new cases and no COVID-19 patients in hospitals has made Victoria the leading standard of control in the world.

We would like your help….
Your opinion on the comfort and function on a new style   of dining room chair for Morgan Glen Iris would be   valuable.  Please pop into the Hester Canterbury office to   “sit” (boom, boom !) a “Goldilocks” test – too hard, too   soft, too high, too low…

Your insights would be really appreciated. Thank you.

Week Three the Spring Menu starts on Monday 30 November.
Please place any orders by lunchtime the Thursday before.
Bon Appetit!
