I posted this on the Facebook pages for my Victorian businesses and the newsXpress national Facebook page.
Hey Victorians, we hope you are safe. All our locally owned newsXpress stores in Victoria are open and safe, here to serve you with news, awesome cards, jigsaws, games and gifts. We can arrange easy pick-up. Some of our stores can arrange local home delivery.
While it is frustrating being the butt of jokes from other states, corona is invisible and will spike in other places too. This week and next we Victorians get to show the rest of the country how to deal with a second wave.
Be well and happy! xx
I share it here as other Victorian retailers may wish to post their own messaging early in this period a surge of corona infections. I felt it was better to be on the front foot about this given the wall to wall coverage in the news and given how some media outlets outside the state are speaking about us.
