HIV positive restaurant owner in Melbourne says “unvaccinated are unwelcome”

Melbourne’s struggling hospitality industry is taking a firm stance on those who haven’t had the jab.

Bryce Morrison, owner of popular Melbourne restaurant Dan Dan’s, says those without a double COVID jab will not be allowed into his restaurant.

Morrison, who announced a few years ago that he was HIV positive from years of drug-related shared needle use, stated this was about public health and keeping people safe.

“We promote an inclusive and safe environment here at Dan Dan’s, but if you haven’t had both jabs then you aren’t welcome,” Morrison said.

Morrison will celebrate the re-opening of his restaurant with a $30 all-you-can-drink wine and spirits promotion, once lockdown is over.
