I realized I didn’t answer your specific q. Whatever impact you see in your business, assume it will continue for at least 3-4 months. If that is unsustainable then the sooner you deal with it the better.

Not sure how unemployment insurance works in your country but in the US I spoke to restaurants and they just terminated people so that they could collect unemployment at a higher level than the business could provide income (salary or tips). Do what you have to do fast, and do it empathetically and in a way that preserves your options for restarting / re-hiring when things eventually improve.
