COVID-19 - IMPORTANT INFORMATION

Published Sun 15 Mar 2020

Please see below links to information packs provided by the Commonwealth Government as to the ongoing outbreak of the Coronavirus.

The Commonwealth and NSW Governments have issued advice relevant to the sporting sector that non-essential mass gatherings of over 500 people not proceed.

While our club's activities fall below the current threshold, Westies Joggers is continuing to monitor the situation.

In the meantime, we request our members adhere to the following in order to ensure everyone's safety:

  • please read the information packs provided by the Commonwealth below;
  • if you or your children are feeling unwell, please do not attend club activities for 14 days since you last felt unwell;
  • if you have been overseas, please do not attend club activities for 14 days since your return to Australia;
  • please exercise social distancing in your interactions with other people at club activities (see information below).

Obviously this is a difficult time for the whole community. Westies Joggers exists to bring opportunities to participate in competitive and recreational running to its members and guests. The club certainly does not enjoy being forced to limit its efforts to achieve that.

However, the ongoing situation is bigger and more important than any sport and the health and well-being of our broader community must come first. With everyone's cooperation and assistance, we will come through this difficult time and be well placed to continue once this period has passed.
