Nick Scali Limited announced that the company is supportive of the move taken by governments, both in Australia and New Zealand, to prevent the rapid spread of COVID-19 through communities by introducing social isolation and distancing measures, including encouraging people to stay at home. As a result of these measures and the increased level of risk for staff and customers should stores continue to operate, the company will temporarily shut all stores from the close of business on 30 March 2020, for an initial period until 1 May 2020.
