Gladys Berejiklian confirmed new restrictions to contain COVID-19 cases in her state.<\/strong><\/p>\n
NSW Premier Gladys Berejiklian has reintroduced some restrictions, designated mainly for pubs, hotels, and larger venues after a recent spike in COVID cases.<\/p>\n
The announcement came after the NSW reported 13 new cases between 8 pm on 12 July and 8 pm on 13 July. Patrons who visited a pub on the Hume Highway are being tested for the infection.<\/p>\n
Ms. Berejiklian confirmed that large venues would be allowed to seat the maximum of 300 people, and group bookings at pubs will be lowered from 20 to 10. Additionally, venues with a capacity for 250 patrons or above must have a full-time marshall.<\/p>\n
Venues will also be required to follow extensive cleaning protocols, and registration with contact details upon entry to the premises will be mandatory. During peak times, all venues must have a designated COVID-19 monitor.<\/p>\n
\nNew rules for pubs such as group bookings of only 10 to keep the community safe. Please come forward to get tested as per health advice. See https:\/\/t.co\/shAzZpMpZv<\/a> for full details. pic.twitter.com\/IS0FzRisPr<\/a><\/p>\n
