COVID-19 UPDATE

1st November 2021

Impact on programs for the remainder of 2021

From monitoring the COVID-19 situation and in accordance with the government’s current regulations we would like to announce the return of the Wednesday Social Trainings! However, for now this means only the adult trainings will be returning.

For returning players it is essential that players follow the guidelines in order to keep the community safe and to help continue sport, and this continues as other activities come back into play. As always, please follow the current guidelines from NSW Health regarding contact status and isolation requirements and all aspects of the Public Health Order.

SERVICE NSW COVID SAFE CHECK IN

All venues used by MWVA require everyone to check in via the Service NSW Covid Safe Check-in QR Code.

VACCINATION

MWVA will require players of any age to be fully vaccinated against Covid-19 and a vaccine certificate (or medical contraindication certificate) will be required to enter. Until further notice there will be no exceptions.

MASKS

Masks are required on entry to any MWVA venue and must be worn at all times unless you are on court actively participating. This includes wearing a mask up until warm up begins, if you are on the bench, doing duty, or having a break for more than half a minute.
