COVID ALERT LEVEL ONE, AT LAST!
We are back to what they call our new normal. At golf this means business as usual. Thanks to those who co-operated during the various levels of lockdown. Below is from the COVID-19 website:
The Golden Rules for everyone at Alert Level 1
- If you’re sick, stay home. Don’t go to work or school. Don’t socialise.
- If you have cold or flu symptoms call your doctor or Healthline and make sure you get tested.
- Wash your hands. Wash your hands. Wash your hands.
- Sneeze and cough into your elbow, and regularly disinfect shared surfaces.
- If you are told by health authorities to self-isolate you must do so immediately.
- If you’re concerned about your wellbeing or have underlying health conditions, work with your GP to understand how best to stay healthy.
- Keep track of where you’ve been and who you’ve seen to help contact tracing if needed. Use the NZ COVID Tracer app as a handy way of doing this.
- Businesses should help people keep track of their movements by displaying the Ministry of Health QR Code for contact tracing.
- Stay vigilant. There is still a global pandemic going on. People and businesses should be prepared to act fast to step up Alert Levels if we have to.
- People will have had different experiences over the last couple of months. Whatever you’re feeling — it’s okay. Be kind to others. Be kind to yourself.
|
We are going to provide the MOH QR code for contract tracing. The NZ COVID Tracer App can be downloaded. This might be particularly useful for visitors who wish to use it. (I couldn’t get it on my phone). |
GOLF UNDER LEVEL 1
- You no longer have to sign the contact tracing book.
- Hand sanitiser will be provided for your use.
- Disc draws allowed.
- Swap cards, both marker and player to sign.
- Gimmees no longer sanctioned.
- You can have the pin removed when putting if you like.
- No more free relief in bunkers unless allowed for in the rules of golf.
- Fountains will be back in use.
- Money and coin can be used to pay for your competition.
- Check your index and make sure you are playing on the right handicap using the charts.
