Not exactly - there were four of them, but only three were infected and knew it!

1. Breaching a public health order, restricting movement out of the locked down area. This one may not stick as the reasons you can use to leave the area are not well defined.

2. Breaching a public health order - namely the "isolate for fourteen days and get a negative test" that is automatic when you are told you are positive. Hard to see how they could dodge that one.

They defied a health directive so have been escorted home, fined and I'd reckon they'll be continually checked up on over the next 14 days.

so, 3 were infected - and knew it, but has the 4th tested positive ? or shown symptoms ?
- would not expect a high degree of social distancing in that trade....

So I suppose a fine , then. My initial reaction was that they should be severely punished, but the lock down rules were fast and loose. Still, it beggers belief they actually did it.

I'm at odds on whether they should be severley punished as an example to others, but am aware that is probably a knee jerk reaction. I just can't believe they thought it was ok.

The people of regional NSW have every right to be very angry, especially if we see more cases out that way. I'm torn between anger and compassion for the young boys, they are only kids really. But the man was 49 years old. People do some stupid things when under pressure.
