Subject: Closure of business due to coronavirus (COVID-19)
Dear All:
We are writing to inform you that unfortunately, as a result of the current coronavirus pandemic, as of ________, we shall cease operating our business for the time being. This is a difficult time for us all and this decision has been considered very carefully. We can assure you that this does not mean that you shall lose your job with ________.
The government has ordered that all non-essential businesses cease their public operations in order to limit the spread of coronavirus throughout the population.
As we are being forced to close, for reasons that are outside our control, the "stand down" provisions under the Fair Work Act 2009 (Commonwealth) may apply.
These provisions mean that your job is protected through this period, notwithstanding that we are unable to usefully employ you. If you wish to receive some income through this period, then you may speak to us about accessing some of your leave entitlements.
We are also applying for the Australian Government's JobKeeper Allowance, and we understand that all employees are likely to be eligible for payments of at least $1,500 per fortnight (before tax) under this scheme, while the scheme remains in operation.
We shall begin operating again as soon as is allowed by the government and we shall notify you promptly of this when such time arises.
Due to the closure of the business the best way to contact us throughout this period is by the following method:
________

Should you have any questions relating to this letter and its contents please do not hesitate to contact us at your earliest convenience.
Yours faithfully,
