00:00Well of course it's got to affect tourism. I'm sure a lot of people are going to cancel.
00:07I hear there have been quite a few cancellations.

00:18But as I say, hopefully it is a one-off.
00:23And hopefully we'll get back to normal.
00:26It's scary because not every day people are dying just like this.

00:36And I won't drink homemade alcohol.
00:41I think that's the most action we'll do.
