MELBOURNE, AUSTRALIA - MAY 18: McDonald's Fawkner is seen re-opened on May 18, 2020 in Melbourne, Australia. McDonald's has closed 12 restaurants across Melbourne for deep cleaning after an external delivery driver tested positive for COVID-19.  The precautionary decision to close the stores was made after a truck driver delivering supplies to the restaurants while asymptomatic later tested positive for coronavirus. All staff have been asked to self isolate not to return to work for 14 days. The restaurant closures come after the closure of the Fawkner and Craigieburn McDonald's restaurants due to COVID-19 cluster outbreak last week. (Photo by Daniel Pockett/Getty Images)
