NSW Police Minister: Community must ‘relearn’ what’s required by public health orders

NSW Police Minister David Elliott says the community has to “relearn” what the public health orders require from them – with a number of infringements occurring over the last 24 hours. “It’s clear that the community is going to need to relearn what these public health orders do and what they require from the community,” he said. “It really is the nuts and bolts stuff that people really should be aware of given we went through this situation last year”. Mr Elliott told Sky News the most common complaints have been coming from people failing to comply with mask mandates in local shops. “It is compulsory for both the individual and the business to make sure the orders are complied with,” he said. “Businesses can get a fine of up to $55,000 so I don’t know why you’d risk it and allow people to come into your shop without wearing a mask. “These fines and this weekend is about reminding people that we’re unfortunately back in the situation which we found ourselves in last year and they have to comply with these regulations otherwise the lockdown order may well continue beyond Friday week."
