Any person displaying flu like symptoms should be refused entry into the facility.
In the event of a positive test of Covid-19 where the person has visited a facility in the previous 72 hours, contact will be made with the relevant medical advisors. All players and staff that may have come in contact with that person are to be notified immediately and all advice given by the medical advisors is to be passed onto those persons. A complete sanitization should occur on the facility as soon as practical and prior to the resumption to sport at that facility.
A person returning to sport after recovering from the Covid-19 should satisfy the following points:
- Ensure they no longer pose any infection risk to their community
- Ensure they have sufficiently recovered to safely participate in exercise
- Clearance from the doctor is required.
