To our sport and recreation stakeholders,
Today the Return to Play Advisory Group (comprised of experts and representation across sport, recreation and fitness sectors and Queensland Health) met to discuss the impact of positive COVID-19 cases in Queensland.
The Advisory Group collectively agreed that the following important messages should be circulated to the industry and stakeholders to ensure that we are all aware of the important role we play in keeping Queenslanders safe and healthy during this time.
In accordance with recent health advice, any person who has visited affected locations identified by Queensland Health’s contact tracing information page should not attend organised sport, active recreation or fitness activities until further information on the situation comes to hand.
We also strongly encourage organisations operating within affected locations this weekend consider capacity to adhere to requirements outlined within Industry plans and health advice. For any organisations within these locations Queensland Health are continuing to provide targeted advice, including avoiding unnecessary gathering and/or deferring events where appropriate. If in doubt, please liaise with your relevant State Level Organisation regarding the impacts of this advice on planned activities this weekend.
It is also very important to remember that under Stage 3 of the easing of restrictions, sport, active recreation and fitness activities and events must comply with an approved Industry COVID-Safe Plans.
Approved Industry Plans restrict access to anyone who has:
- COVID-19 or has been in direct contact with a known case of Covid-19 within the last 14 days
- Flu-like symptoms or who is a high health risk (e.g. due to age or pre-existing conditions)
- Travelled internationally
- Travelled to a Covid declared hotspot.
Should you have any have queries or concerns on the above please contact the COVID Hotline on (07) 3330 6166 or COVID email SR_Covid19@npsr.qld.gov.au
