But some sectors already know that they will have to wait (without knowing until when) to start resuming their activity. Among them, hotels, cafes and restaurants. For all these very often independent businesses, the situation is already very difficult despite government measures, and the absence of the prospect of reopening does not encourage optimism. Can independent restaurants and cafes recover from the Covid-19 pandemic? This is our question today.
Our guests :
