Covid19 Update December 17, 2021

Changes to the attendance requirements of members, participants and supporters of all Suncoast Spinners programs and events. The changes to requirements are in response to the increased risk of community transmission of COVID-19, aiming to reduce the risk of COVID-19 transmission as much as possible. These changes in attendance requirements for all members, participants and supporters are in addition to existing vaccination requirements for all Suncoast Spinners staff and volunteers to be fully vaccinated for COVID-19.

From December 17th all persons aged 16 and above attending Suncoast Spinners events and programs (including members, participants and supporters) will be required to present:

Proof of COVID-19 vaccination OR
An Australian government exemption for COVID-19 vaccination

At arrival to events and programs you will provide this information for entry, however Suncoast Spinners will not take documentation of these documents.

Other measures are for participants of all ages.
All those attending Suncoast Spinners events or programs will be required to complete the QR code at the venue and practice physical distancing when not in the field of play.

Finally, it is essential if you are not feeling well, you do not attend Suncoast Spinners events.

It is our aim as a committee to do what we can to prioritise the health and well-being of our members and in the current context this means the inclusion of attendance requirements we have never had before.

We will be continually reassessing the situation and will adapt entry requirements if there are changes to the context and the information we have available. In these uncertain times, the impact to our programs and events may occur with little notice and we will communicate information we have as soon as possible via email to our members and on our website.

Please ensure your email contact details are up to date so we can provide any important updates to you directly.

PROTECTING OUR MEMBERS & VOLUNTEERS

With our social games commencing we have sourced an innovative antimicrobial technology to assist in protecting our members.

Zoono’s “physical kill” replaces the need for dangerous poisons, chemicals and alcohol. This method of rupturing the cell means the cell cannot mutate, preventing the development of superbugs.

Zoono is colourless, odourless, non-leaching, environmentally safe, non-corrosive and whilst completely gentle for humans and animals, it is deadly for a wide range of bacteria and mould.

Zoono does not contain harmful chemicals, as a liquid Zoono is less toxic than vitamin C and coffee.
