"I strongly encourage you to register as a COVID Safe Business," Auburn said.

"It's a very simple process."

For local businesses to sign up it takes three easy steps:

1. Complete a COVID-19 Safety Plan

2. Register as a COVID Safe business and

3. Show that you're COVID Safe

"Businesses that fail to follow the NSW Government's COVID safety warnings risk large fines," Auburn said.

As of last week there were only nine businesses in Grenfell which were registered as being COVID Safe.

Under new regulations from the NSW Government businesses are being asked to sign up or face a up to $50,000 fine.
