Important update from Tennis NSW
🔊 Covid-19 Update - Greater Sydney, Blue Mountains, Central Coast, Wollongong & Shellharbour.
While over the weekend, restrictions in Greater Sydney were applied to residents of Canterbury Bankstown, Liverpool and Fairfield LGA’s, nothing changed significantly for us in tennis and community sport and the current restrictions continue to still apply.
The advice in relation to mask wearing for tennis participants, administrators and coaches is as follows;
👉 You must wear a mask if you deal directly with a member of the public e.g. Coaches / Pro-Shop staff / Officials.
👉 You must wear a mask in the following environments:
👉 Indoor recreation facilities (unless it is strenuous exercise)
👉 Major recreation facilities e.g. Stadiums, Showgrounds, Workplaces e.g. offices, Pro-Shops
Under the current Public Health Order, undertaking exercise and outdoor recreation activities remains a reasonable excuse to leave your home. As of 5pm, Friday 9 July:
👉 Outdoor public gatherings (including exercise) will be limited to two people (excluding members of the same household);
👉 People must stay in their Local Government Area or within 10km of home for exercise and outdoor recreation, with no carpooling between non-household members;
👉 NSW Health advice is that no formal competitions or training sessions are to take place and no community sport (whether training or a match) in Greater Sydney including the Blue Mountains, Central Coast, Wollongong and Shellharbour should proceed.
Therefore the recommendation from Tennis NSW in regards to community participation in Greater Sydney is as follows:
🎾 Singles play is permitted;
🎾 Private coaching is permitted (this is subject to two people gathering plus a coach). Coaching is permitted as a reasonable excuse to leave home for the purposes of work.
