New COVID restrictions are now in place for New South Wales, with police cracking down on parties while the rules relax for weddings.
Under a new amendment to the Public Health Order announced on Monday afternoon, anyone gathering in a group of more than 20 will be liable for a $1000 fine – not just the host.
“Coming into the warmer months, and with end-of-year festivities around the corner it’s only natural that people will have additional reasons to want to gather and get together,” Operation Corona Virus Commander Assistant Commissioner Tony Crandell said. “The new changes come in addition to other restrictions which remain in place, including a limit on numbers at outdoor gatherings and licensed premises.”
Venues can also now take bookings for weddings and other events to be held in the future for more people than are currently allowed under the current rules, provided the rules that apply on the date of the event are obeyed.
