COVID-19 WA Roadmap - Phase 2 - School Sport
The WA Government yesterday released the “COVID-19 WA Roadmap” to provide guidance to Western Australians.
Information is available online at https://www.wa.gov.au/organisation/department-of-the-premier-and-cabinet/covid-19-coronavirus-wa-roadmap. While community sport is broadly referenced, there will hopefully be further guidance released by Government in the coming days in preparation for Phase 2. Phase 2 commences on the 18 May and Phase 3 should commence around the 18 June.
COMMUNITY SPORT – at this time the ACC is working on the assumption that the restrictions on community sport also apply to school sport in interschool and intraschool (house) settings.
Phase 2: 18 May
·
Sporting activities that are non-contact and involve no more than 20 participants are allowed. This includes children’s sports.
·
This includes non-contact training for sports that would ordinarily involve contact (such as hockey, basketball, football, soccer and netball).
·
Contact sports remain a prohibited activity.
·
Minimal shared equipment should be used and must be cleaned frequently.
·
The space you’re playing in must be big enough to provide at least 4 square metres per person and participants should practice social distancing by keeping 1.5 metres from other people.
·
Groups of people playing sports in parks should take care to keep a safe distance from other groups using the park.
·
Public change-rooms remain closed, but toilets remain open.
·
Indoor and outdoor fitness and dance classes allowed, with a 20 person limit.
·
Community centres and facilities may reopen with a 20 person limit.
Phase 3: 18 June – subject to health advice.
·
Resuming community contact sport, with gathering limits.
·
Further increase to non-work gathering limits.
·
Restrictions further relaxed for indoor sports centres.
The ACC will keep all schools updated when information additional becomes available
