Thirteen people have been fined after police were called to a “large fight” and then a noisy birthday party within three hours on the same street.

Police were first called to the street in Whyalla Norrie, on South Australia’s Eyre Peninsula, on Saturday night after calls were made in regards to a “large fight”.Gatherings of more than 10 people are currently banned in the state as coronavirus restrictions gradually ease.

“At the time, these people were provided with education regarding the COVID-19 gathering restrictions and directions, specifically the Emergency Management Direction 2020,” SA Police said in a statement on Thursday.But three hours later, they were called back to the same street due to a noise complaint related to one address.“The group consisted of adults and juveniles who stated they were at the premises celebrating a birthday.

Police on Thursday also reminded residents that gatherings must not exceed more than one person per 4sq m, considered a “density requirement” by the state government under step one of the “roadmap” for easing COVID-19 restrictions. Last month, a group of 13 people drinking on a backyard porch in Whyalla were also fined a total of $13,000.

The two residents and 11 visitors gathered illegally and did not comply with social distancing rules, police said.Four people have died since the pandemic reached the state however all 435 other patients have recovered.
