Anyone at a private event with more than 20 people can now be fined $1000 each, under changes to the public health order in NSW.
NSW Police said the new changes came into effect at midnight this morning, in anticipation of the warmer weather and larger gatherings leading up to Christmas. "Where previously, only the organiser of a gathering was liable to receive a fine if the number of people at the premises breached the Public Health Order, every person in attendance will now be held individually responsible for the breach," a NSW Police spokesperson said.
