Hi All,

We hope everyone is keeping well and looking forward to the start of the season.

We have received an update from AFLSE about their advice on COVID-19 (Coronavirus) and wanted to share with you. It is mainly general government guidance around basic hygiene and travel however a few things to point out that relates to us:

We are currently attempting to come to understand some touch points around best practice to mitigate risk at Club level
1. Covid-19 or not, communal use of water bottles should be avoided at all times
2. In the short term it would be prudent to have all players be in possession of their own drink bottle.
3. Place hand sanitisers around the change room and encourage players to use them
4. Anyone associated with a Club if feeling unwell should refrain from club activities immediately, seek medical advice and where appropriate, advise the Club of their absence.

In summary, please take care of yourselves and your family, do not attend training if unwell and if unsure, please contact the club.

We are here to support so please let us know if you need anything.

Regards,
Katrina
