A new suite of COVID-19 measures has come into place for hospitality venues in NSW - and the government is promising to throw the book at blatant breaches.
The changes which came into effect on Friday include mandatory sign-ins, prepared COVID-safe plans, a cap of 300 people and maximum group bookings of 10.Caps for private indoor and outdoor gatherings in NSW remain at 20, but weddings and corporate events are now capped at 150, and funerals and religious gatherings at 100.
NSW Customer Service Minister Victor Dominello said about 31,000 businesses had to date registered their COVID-safe plans with the government. Liquor and Gaming NSW has conducted 1311 COVID-safe inspections to date, resulting in three fines. More inspectors would be on the beat around NSW from Friday."It's not Dry July for me anymore, it's Compliance July," he told reporters on Friday.Seven new cases of COVID-19 were reported in NSW in the 24 hours to 8pm on Thursday from a record 36,169 tests, with three people currently in intensive care.
Of the seven, six are associated with the Thai Rock restaurant in southwest Sydney's Wetherill Park - taking the size of that cluster to 52.NSW Health's Dr Jeremy McAnulty said a previously-confirmed COVID-19 case had visited Costco supermarket at Marsden Park on July 19. Any Costco shoppers on that date have been encouraged to seek testing if symptoms develop."Key messages for the community are to avoid non-essential travel and gatherings.
Instead of issuing punishments like a police state/country I don’t understand why the numbers aren’t reduced for people meeting. By choice I avoid going anywhere enclosed for long periods of time, Other than a quick trip to shops or an outdoor restaurant. And I’m in QLD.
These are better numbers
