Covid19 Procedures - UPDATED
The NSW Government has recently issued updated COVID recommendations for community sport. Orienteering NSW has reviewed the updated recommendations and updated its COVID Safety Plan. You can view the updated plan HERE.
|
The impact of the new recommendations and updated ONSW COVID Safety Plan for upcoming Newcastle events is mainly related to the recommendation to keep metropolitan and rural communities separated where possible.
For the Newcastle Club this causes an issue as Newcastle and Lake Macquarie are defined as metropolitan area and Port Stephens, Maitland and Cessnock are defined as rural. As well, some of our club members live outside of the Greater Newcastle area. In accordance with the ONSW COVID Safety Plan competitors should arrive at the event in time to start and compete. Competitors should then leave the event as soon as practical after they complete their course. Competitors and officials should maintain a social distance of at least 1.5m while at the event. Metropolitan and Rural competitors will need to remain in separate areas at the event.
Separate areas of the assembly area will be set up and separate start chutes will be established. START WINDOWS
The event will have the following recommended start windows. a. 9:00am - Newcastle Club members who live outside of Greater Newcastle.
b. 9:30am – competitors who live in the rural areas of Greater Newcastle.
c.10:00am – competitors who live in the metropolitan areas of Greater Newcastle.
We recognise that it may not be possible for you to attend at the recommended start time.
If you attend at a different time please ensure that you use the relevant assembly and start areas for your residential location. |
