Attention-All Clubs, All Schools, Athletes, Coaches, Volunteers and Officials.

After the Update from the Premier and Public Health last Friday the 18^th, Rowing Tasmania has spoken with Public Health Tasmania and asked for clarification on the requirements to wear masks at the Club Regattas #3 and #4 plus Schools #1.

On the Regatta Grounds (and within the Lake Barrington Internationals Rowing Precinct.)

• Masks will be required to be worn by all unless you are eating or drinking or have an exemption.
• One hour after the LAST race masks will not be required to be worn.

On water- (Field of Play).

When the athlete(s) are at the racks/trestles and are to go “Hands On “to take the boat to be launched masks can be removed and when the boats are returned the racks/trestles, after the race, and the athletes are “Hands Off’ masks are to be put on.

Note:

1. If your mask is wet it may lose its effectiveness please put on a new one and dispose of the old mask.
2. BRO, volunteer, boat drivers and scouts that are on water are not required to wear a mask.
3. The wearing of masks is a requirement because it is not mandatory for all rowers and attendees at the Rowing Tasmania events to be vaccinated.
