Hi everyone,
What follows are some of the processes that the executive has actioned so that we follow the COVID-19 regulations for returning to training – the government’s COVID-19 Return to Play policy.
Every person must be aware and play an active role in ensuring these routines are strictly adhered to at all times. Doing so will help to minimise the risk of transmission. I encourage you to read the following and familiarise yourself with the new routines we must follow.
1. We encourage you to consider downloading and using the government’s COVID Safe app.
2. You are encouraged to bring your own water bottle, that is full of water, to eliminate the need to use the school’s bubblers.
3. You must ensure that your equipment is in good repair and that you are the only person who uses them, because it limits the chance of transmission.
4. You must ensure your personal hygiene, which means:
a. Being clean before coming to training.
b. Only coming to training if you are in good health, otherwise we need you to stay at home and rest to limit the possibility of transmitting infection.
c. Bringing a clean uniform that has been laundered and dried after previous use. We recognise that this is normal practice, but it is even more important in our current climate.
d. Wearing footwear (more details on that below).
5. Entering and exiting the dojo will mean:
a. Entering through the normal door (door closest to the bubblers on the southern side of the MEAC).
b. Clean your hands at the sanitising station near the entry point.
c. Maintain physical distance in regards to setting down equipment and preparation to train.
d. Wear footwear at all times when you are outside of the red lines of the floor.
e. You must wear footwear to the toilet.
f. Footwear must be removed within the red lines.
g. Exit the dojo through the side door. This refers to the double doors on the eastern side of the dojo.
h. As you exit, use the sanitising station provided.
6. Cleaning procedures for the area within the red lines:
a. The tatami (mats) must be cleaned before and after use to minimise the risk of infection.
b. The mats must be towelled down after mopping.
c. Shoes must be worn when unpacking and packing the mats.
If you have any questions, please feel free to contact the executive for clarification.
Regards,
Brady
