封城封了一个多月的时间，这一波由Delta变种病毒引发的疫情仍没有好转的迹象。
受疫情影响，各类会展活动不得不被迫取消，其中就包括维州农业展览会。
维州农业展览会的执行官Rob Bowles近日表示，
由于疫情态势仍在迅速变化，截至目前，维州已有45场农业展览会不得不被临时叫停。
这一情况也给经济本就脆弱的维州偏远地区带来了不小的打击。
据悉，Geelong、Bendigo、Ballarat、Mildura、Wangaratta和Whittlesea这些地区的农业展览会已是连续第二年被取消。

每年，维州边远地区会举办多达110场农业展览会，一共能吸引50多万人前来参观。
其中，维州中部地区的展览会能给当地带来300至400万澳元的经济收入，而规模更大的Geelong地区的展览会则能实现400至550万澳元的创收！
去年受疫情影响，这些展览会虽然被取消，但是还能获得来自政府的JobKeeper补助。
但今年，随着补助接连被取消，展览会所面临的困境比去年还要严重。
