A wedding venue in Sydney's west has been fined A$5000 ($5352) for allowing between 600 and 800 guests at a reception, New South Wales Police Minister David Elliott says.
Elliott said police were investigating the Fairfield wedding reception held on Saturday about 10km away from the concerning cluster linked to a bottle shop in Berala. The Berala cluster stood at 13 cases this morning.
Current NSW Health restrictions allow for a maximum of 300 guests, and that is under the one person per 4 sq m rule. The wedding reception had between 600 and 800 guests.
