As New South Wales and Victoria battle to keep new COVID cases
to a minimum and outbreaks under control, a Sydney woman has been
fined $2000 over allegations she breached public health orders while on holiday in
Byron Bay.
The woman, from Cronulla in Sydney, is alleged to have breached public health orders to
self-isolate twice over a period of three days, by leaving
her room at a resort and swimming in the hotel's pool.

Under the current public health order, those who have
been in 'close contact' with a person who has a confirmed
case of COVID-19 must self-isolate for a period of 14 days.
Police say that in addition to being fined, the woman was issued
with personal protective equipment to allow her to safely travel to
get tested and given information about local testing
facilities.
