Rowing Victoria COVID-19 Update

 16 July 2021

UPDATE

LOCKDOWN 5.0 FROM 11.59PM THURSDAY 15 JULY.

Unfortunately, on the advice of the State’s public health team, the State is back into lockdown until 11:59pm on Tuesday 20 July.

Relevant to our community, the following restrictions will apply:

• Rowing Clubs are closed; no access allowed. This means there is no access to social rooms, change rooms, boats and/ or gyms.
• Exercise is allowed for up to two hours and with one other person, limited to five kilometres from home.
• If an individual (or two) have easy access to their own scull, pair or double scull, and they comply with all remaining exercise restrictions, i.e. not traveling more than 5km from where they live and limiting exercise to no more than two hours in total, they may row for exercise.
• With the clubs being closed, the safety management plans are not activated, and insurance is not available.
• No Competitions allowed.

It is hoped this 5.0 lockdown lasts no more than a week.

If restrictions ease earlier, we will advise the community of the relevant opportunities.

Let’s stay safe so we can get back rowing.
