Australia’s restaurants and cafes hope to reopen to diners next month with their patrons seated 1.5 metres apart and without condiments such as salt and pepper on the table.

The prime minister, Scott Morrison, confirmed on Tuesday he and the state and territory leaders had been provided with recommendations from two industry bodies outlining how restaurants, cafes and pubs could operate during the pandemic.
