Back in July, Bathurst RSL became the first venues in the Central West to bar entry for travellers from growing COVID-19 hotspots in Sydney, the Blue Mountains, Albury and Victoria.
At the time, general manager Peter Sargent said the move was to prioritise the protection of staff, members and residents of Bathurst and surrounds.
"While we value the support we receive from visitors far and wide, our number one priority is our members, the Bathurst community and our immediate surrounds," Mr Sargent said.
"We understand this may be difficult to hear given we're still in the school holiday period, but if taking this measure means we can protect our staff and community more, it's a good thing to do."
