This follows the news that Acapulco nightclub will be closing its doors until further notice after the weekend.

In a statement on Facebook, the nightclub said: "Due to recent circumstances, our team has come to the decision to close all nightclubs in an attempt to prevent further spread of COVID-19.

"After thorough consideration, and statements provided by the government, we feel it’s best to say a temporary goodbye until circumstances improve. We are truly saddened by this; however, we pray and hope for everyone in powering through this hard time.

"Our teams will be working safely in the background to ensure our venues reopen as tip top. We look forward to seeing you all very soon and will be hosting one hell of a Welcome Back Party. In the meantime, we will be feeding snippets of content on social media to keep you busy.

"Stay safe, look after each other and look back once this is over with pride, and remember we are One Nation Under A Groove!"
