A man has been fined $1000 in NSW for allegedly bypassing vaccination restrictions and entering a licensed venue.
Police allege the 25-year-old Bungendore man entered the premises on November 19 after being let in by another man through a side entrance.
The man was discovered by hotel staff shortly after, and was unable to produce a COVID-19 vaccination certificate or exemption when prompted.
He was asked to leave following this encounter.
On November 21 police spoke with the male, and he was subsequently issued with a $1000 infringement for breaching public health requirements.
People in NSW must be fully vaccinated in order to visit a hospitality venue, and must be able to prove this by carrying a vaccination certificate or exemption.
The rules will ease on December 15 to allow people who are not fully vaccinated more freedoms.
