Easing of Restrictions – Stage 2
Good afternoon Regions and Clubs,
Wow another big and fast-moving day in the new world of COVID-19! As you would no doubt be aware there has been some great news from our Premier today with Stage 2 of the Roadmap to Recovery being bought forward and will take effect from 3pm this Friday 5th June 2020.
With this announcement, Stage 2 of the Bowls Return to Play Document will also come into effect. The big changes being that we now move from 10 people per green to 20 people. This can include organised competition. (Please keep in mind that there is still a restriction around 4 people per rink, with 2 at each end).
We have also had further discussion with Community Sport & Recreation and there has also been a further amendment to our Return to Play Document which is important to note. The space between rinks has now been reduced to half a rink between rinks. We’re hoping this will allow Clubs to get more rinks in play, but it is important to remember that you must still adhere to 1.5m social distancing and the four-square metre rule must also be maintained.
There was also the announcement that “Gatherings of up to 40 patrons for seated table service at cafes, restaurants, pubs and clubs (excluding nightclubs) only where sufficient space and settings allow this to occur.”
We do not have any further information around this matter at this time but will certainly send through anything we do receive as it becomes available. Please read the information below that comes directly from Business Tasmania. It is imperative that Club’s are across all of these guidelines and have your COVID-19 Safety Plan in place prior to opening. This is a requirement for all businesses and must be adhered to protect your Club and Members.
Business Tasmania is also hosting a COVID-19 Safety Plan online Information Session tomorrow. (The details are also below). I would strongly encourage all Clubs to tune into this session so you are fully aware of your responsibilities prior to opening.
