Well think again, Launceston.
Coronavirus has claimed one of the city's time-honoured traditions: the ability to chuck on the track pants at any hour and dash down to Kmart.

This special privilege - afforded to only a select few regional Australian communities - is no more.
As of Wednesday morning, Kmart Launceston is no longer 24 hours.
In a statement, the company said the measure was required to ensure maximum hygiene for shoppers.
"We've made the decision to temporarily reduce our operating hours across the country - giving our teams more time to clean stores and support online order fulfillment," the statement reads.
Launceston Kmart will now be open from 8am to 10pm for the duration of the coronavirus pandemic emergency.
