NSW Police Commissioner Mick Fuller said police will be patrolling back roads and caravan parks to ensure people are adhering to social distancing measures."We will be going through caravan parks early, issuing warnings to people that may think they can get around these laws," Commissioner Fuller said on Wednesday.
"We will be using all of our powers and all of our technology to try and identify those people who shouldn't be in NSW," he said. Since the last update on Monday, police have fined 15 people, including a man who was sitting at a picnic table at a shopping mall in Mt Druitt on Tuesday. Police spoke with the 20-year-old and established he had been warned on three separate occasions the day before when he was seen at the same location. He was issued with a $1000 fine.
