Police hike lockdown fines in Sydney, Australia, from $1,000 to $3,700 and extend strict stay-at-home orders statewide amid a record jump in daily new Covid-19 infections.
State police will fine up to A$5,000 anyone breaching stay-at-home orders or for lying to contract-tracing officials, said state Premier Gladys Berejiklian. Previously breaching quarantine orders had carried a A$1,000 fine.
Sydney residents breaching stay-at-home orders or for lying to contract-tracing officials will face fines of up to $3,700.It is becoming increasingly unlikely Sydney will end its nine-week lockdown on Aug. 28 as planned. Authorities had been talking about easing some restrictions if enough people are vaccinated and case numbers fall.
A new A$3,000 fine will apply to people entering rural areas without an official permit, while stay-at-home orders were introduced for seven days in regional areas not currently in lockdown.
