The local man was seated near the infectious Queensland bachelorette party who prompted health alerts in Byron Shire over the weekend.
“There are probably some more cases on the horizon, hopefully not, but we’ve got to be open to that and respond to whatever comes up.”The new case also prompted restrictions for Byron, Ballina, Tweed and Lismore shires from 5pm on Wednesday, with household gatherings limited to 30 people, venue caps returning to the four-square-metre rule, stand-up drinking banned and masks mandated in retail stores, public indoor settings and on public transport.
Having attended the past eight Bluesfests, Ms Woodward said she wanted to stay and support the industry after last year’s event was cancelled. “We had outbreaks in Sydney at Christmas and yet the cricket still proceeded under COVID-safe guidelines [and] there was no spreader event linked to sport,” she said.Melia Borg, who runs Gypsy Mama Wild Child clothing store in Byron Bay, took her family for a COVID-19 test on Wednesday and said it was “very well organised”.
“Running a business from home, it’s all business as usual at the present but I feel for the businesses in town, they will be relying on the Easter trade, that might be in jeopardy now.”
You arent going to have festivals until we are all vaccinated and you guys stop kidding yourselves about spread This is a tragedy and we can all look at the bods who thumb their noses at us
'public health order cancelling the festival, scheduled to take part on the Easter long weekend.' NSW Health had NO CHOICE . Now Mr Hazzard is the time to REINSTATE THE MASK MANDATE statewide or ALL of NSW and to keep it in place until the vax rollout is 100% complete.
One person ... what a joke

Cancelled Byron Bluesfest a 'huge blow' for Aussie music | Sky News AustraliaByron Bay's popular Bluesfest has been cancelled less than 24 hours before its scheduled start due to coronavirus concerns.\n\nBluesfest was set to be Australia's largest multi-day music festival in more than a year and musicians Jimmy Barnes, Tash Sultana and Kasey Chambers had been lined up as performers.\n\nJimmy Barnes has since shared his disappointment but understanding of the situation on Instagram. \n\n“While this is such huge blow for Aussie music - not just the artists, but all the roadies, stage crew, volunteers, the punters, and everyone in between we have to remember that the health and well-being of this country has to come first,” he said. \n\nApproximately 15,000 patrons were expected to attend which is half the festival's usual capacity and some had already arrived on site to set up camping equipment for the event. \n\nNew South Wales recorded one new case of community transmission in Byron Bay prompting organisers to shut down the festival.\n And all the scared sheeple will accept it and continue to believe everything they’re spoon fed. Gladys is running a police state Send the bill to the QLD government, it’s obviously too hard for them to keep their hotel quarantine under control and now it’s effecting other states!
