20.01.2022 IMPORTANT CUSTOMER MESSAGE Last night we discovered a post circulating on social media regarding a false covid accusation concerning our business. This is misin...formation and untrue. It has since been reported and removed but unfortunately it has been reposted and spread. This is the correct information. Everyone at David Luckes Fresh Food Market has been requested by Agriculture Victoria and DHHS to have a covid test as part of a statewide screening test of certain areas of the meat industry. This is because we fall under the category of a meat processing licence in the state of Victoria. It is a blanket testing program for every business who holds these licenses, wherever in Victoria your business is located. It is a safety precaution and has nothing to do with the individual health of any of our staff members. No staff members at this time have any covid symptoms but everyone is still required to have the test. After staff members have been tested, they are permitted to return to work as soon as possible, as stated in the email we received which you can read below. Of course, if a staff member did have symptoms they would be required to self isolate. We take all precautionary measures very seriously, including the temperature checking of our staff at the start of every shift and the sanitizing of our store and surrounds three times a day, seven days a weeks. We feel this is extremely unfair of this person to spread this misinformation without bothering to find out the real facts. As a community minded business, we are horrified, our staff are extremely upset and our customers are justifiably concerned. Thank you to the people who informed us of this incident. We would really appreciate if you would share this post to let everyone know the real situation and it is business as usual at our store. Yours faithfully, David and Cathy Lucke

20.01.2022 Despite the ridiculous announcement at the weekend, to stay under such strict restrictions, you can be assured that we absolutely stand by our focus of using the best local Gippsland produce, in all of our Takeaway options, just like these sensational King Oyster Mushrooms from @flora_and_fungi - You can still eat in style Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner courtesy of us! Order online:- www.northernground.com.au for Pick Up or Delivery or Call 51521544 or call into the Cafe -... #morethanjustacafe #supportlocal #localproduce #unlockhospitalityvictoria #unlockhospitality #unlockhospitalitynow #savehospo #bairnsdale #eatdrinkgippsland #destinationgippsland See more
