Regatta ON HOLD 9am
With the ongoing situation around COVID-19 we would like to remind you of the advice from the Ministry of Health regarding attending public events, which is:
As always, anyone scheduled to work at a public event should stay home if they feel unwell.
The following people should not attend the event:
• anyone who is unwell
• anyone arriving in New Zealand who has returned from mainland China, Iran, northern Italy or the Republic of Korea (excluding airport transit), or been in close contact with someone confirmed with COVID-19 in the last 14 days is being asked to self-isolate. Please also register your details with Healthline 0800 358 5453 (or +64 9 358 5453 if using an international SIM) if you have not already.
How to minimise the risk of getting sick at an event
The most important thing to do is practice good hygiene.
Volunteers/Officials should always practice good coughing, sneezing and hand hygiene.
This includes:
• covering coughs/sneezes with disposable tissues, or coughing/sneezing into your elbow
• disposing of used tissues appropriately in a bin
• washing hands with soap and water for at least 20 seconds and drying them thoroughly or using hand sanitiser:
o before eating or handling food
o after using the toilet
o after coughing, sneezing, blowing your nose or wiping children’s noses
o after caring for sick people.
Food handlers at the regatta should be extra vigilant with hand hygiene and should not work if they feel unwell.
It is also a good idea to clean surfaces regularly with antiseptic wipes or regular household disinfectant, including bleach solutions.
Thank you for your attention to this.
Kind Regards,
