COVID 19 Update

All Members, Coaches, Athletes & Officials,

The Dept of Sport and Rec in conjunction with the Health authorities released advice on the weekend regarding the possible outbreak and clusters in Brisbane.

There have been a large number of areas that have been identified as at risk areas, please see the Qld Health contact tracing information page for these areas and also possible effected businesses.

The advice is that anyone who has visited affected locations should not attend any organised sporting event, active recreation or fitness activities until further notice.

In addition the recommendation is that organisations operating in affected locations avoid unnecessary gatherings and/or defer events where appropriate.

Once again we are faced with the reality that community sport may be cancelled if further cases of C19 pop up.

Boxing Qld strongly recommend that clubs within the identified areas on the contact tracing information page refrain from inter club sparring until further notice and if any members of your club are feeling even slightly unwell that they don't go to training or attend any events until such time that they have been tested and cleared for C19.

This is definately the time to 'over react', the more cautious we are the better chance we have of avoiding a total shut down, And the responsibility lies squarley on you!

At the moment the C19 situation is balancing on a knifes edge and it will only take one silly act of someone thinking that they're above the recommendations or as the old saying goes 'I'll be fine I never get sick", to cause us to cancel the remainder of 2020.

The tournament set for the 15th August is at this stage still going ahead, we will monitor all information and keep everyone informed with any changes or cancellations.

If you have any questions or don't understand anything, please don't hesitate to contact us.

Kind Regards

Sam O'Malley

Secretary
