A Korean BBQ restaurant has been fined for having a self-serve buffet despite COVID-19 rules, with SafeWork NSW saying the breaches defy logic.
A Korean BBQ restaurant in Sydney's inner west has been fined for hosting an open buffet where diners shared crockery, cutlery and food despite the coronavirus threat.
Chairs and tables weren't spaced as needed, and CCTV footage showed diners weren't physically distancing when helping themselves at the buffet, according to SafeWork NSW.SafeWork NSW says self-serve buffets aren't allowed under coronavirus rules."Self-serve buffets and pandemics simply don't mix, creating a source of potentially contaminated items," Ms Wise said in a statement.
The breaches related to the spacing of gaming machines, tables and chairs, not having COVID-19 safety plans or being registered as COVID-safe.
