\n\u201cAny business found blatantly breaking the rules will have the book thrown at them. We won\u2019t be listening to any excuses,\u201d Mr Dominello said.
\n\u201cBusinesses that aren\u2019t serious about safety should not be in business. Those who disregard the restrictions should expect a visit from an inspector.
\n\u201cWe also encourage customers to report wrongdoing. We have a shared responsibility to ensure NSW remains safe.\u201d
\nThe NSW Government has made it easy for business by providing industry relevant COVID-Safe plans online.
\n\u201cRegistering your business is simple and can be done online at\u00a0www.nsw.gov.au<\/a>,\u201d Mr Dominello said.
\nThe rules on gatherings remain the same: 20 guests inside the home and 20 for gatherings in a public place. However, as the home is a high transmission area, the NSW Chief Health Officer strongly recommends a COVID-Safe precautionary approach of limiting visitors to the home to 10 people as a general principle.
