With warmer weather and longer days ahead, amendments have been made to the Public Health Order \u2013 most significantly relating to private gatherings; with all attendees now risking $1000 Penalty Infringement Notices (PINs) if the gathering exceeds the allowed 20-person limit.
\nWhere previously, only the organiser of a gathering was liable to receive a fine if the number of people at the premises breached the Public Health Order, every person in attendance will now be held individually responsible for the breach.
\nThe changes, which came into effect at midnight<\/a> (Monday 14 September 2020), aim to ensure the safety of the community ahead of an expected increase in gatherings associated with Christmas and end-of-year festivities.
\nOperation Corona Virus Commander, Assistant Commissioner Tony Crandell, said that as with the previous restrictions, these amendments have been made with community safety in mind.
\n\u201cComing into the warmer months, and with end-of-year festivities around the corner, it\u2019s only natural that people will have additional reasons to want to gather and get together,\u201d Assistant Commissioner Crandell said.
\n\u201cThese amendments aim to ensure that an increase in expected gatherings doesn\u2019t mean an increase in COVID-19 cases.
\n\u201cThe new changes come in addition to other restrictions which remain in place, including a limit on numbers at outdoor gatherings and licensed premises.
\n\u201cNSW Police will continue to work with the community to ensure compliance to all restrictions under the Public Health Order.
\n\u201cWhile the vast majority of people within NSW are doing their part, we will continue to target those who don\u2019t,\u201d Assistant Commissioner Crandell said.
\nOther amendments have also come into effect that impact places of worship, auctions\/open homes, weddings, and party buses.
