COVID Restrictions at the Castle Hill Senior Citizens Club (week commencing 28/2/2022)
Following the relaxation of COVID restrictions by the NSW Government on 25th February 2022 the management committee discussed the changes in rules, masks in the club, vaccination, physical distancing in the club and whether the double tables can be split up again, chair spacing etc.
The management committee decided that from 28th February 2022 until further notice all members and visitors who attend the club:
must be fully vaccinated,
should wear a mask if they cannot maintain suitable physical distancing. Wearing a mask is not mandatory but is encouraged,
should refrain from moving furniture which has been placed to encourage physical distancing and if furniture is moved it must be replaced in its original position at the end of the activity,
should be aware of the club's COVID safe plan (see below and at the club) which includes common sense rules such as not attending the club if you have any symptoms of illness.
As all of our activities are run by dedicated volunteers the club also has to be mindful of the concerns of our volunteer activity coordinators who might otherwise wish to limit their social activities if case numbers rise within the community.
See you at the club,
Peter Ivanov
President
