Bourbon Street in New Orleans, Louisiana, is deserted on the evening of February 16. Traditional Mardi Gras celebrations have been disrupted by the Covid-19 pandemic, including the cancelling of all carnival parades and the closing of all bars in the French Quarter. The impact on face-to-face services, including food and entertainment, may last long after the pandemic ends. Photo: Getty Images / AFP
