FIBV Policies regarding Covid-19

Hi Everyone,
Before getting into the details – I just wanted to remind you that as the part of the community that choose to include physical health in their life on a regular basis, you are at a lower risk of contracting or being affected by this virus. Please also remember that movement, your diet/nutrition, vitamin D, practicing mental resilience and regular de-stressing techniques are also a very big part of being on the right side of this.

As next week is the beginning of a new season, please let us know if you would like to suspend your team until things settle down. We will continue to operate as long as The Department of Health deems it safe for us to do so, but we understand if some teams wish to take a cautious approach.

While the risk of contracting COVID-19 in Perth remains low, we would like to ask you as part of our Fremantle Indoor Beach community to join us in helping prevent the spread by taking the following measures.

AS A MEMBER

Wash/ sanitise/wet wipe your hands with the 20 second rule before and after each match.
Do not shake hands at the end of the match or high 5 between sets.
Bring or buy your own water bottle either pre-filled or fill using our drink fountain which is regularly cleaned. Please also do not drink directly out of the drink fountain.
If you have any symptoms of any form of flu please be diligent with staying away from FIBV for the suitable time period.
Please note (to reduce your stress) sneezing is not in any way associated as a symptom with the COVID-19. This has also been officially cleared by WHO (World Health Organisation)

AS A STAFF MEMBER

Increase cleaning of everything including drink fountains and toilets.
Ensuring we stay up to date and educated with all facets of the COVID-19 virus from the institutes/ agencies that we should be listening to and not mass media.

With the new restrictions preventing indoor gatherings of more than 100 people, we have implemented new game times to allow time for changeover between time slots. New game times will now be 6:30pm, 7:35pm and 8:40pm. Please do not arrive more than 10 minutes before your game time if there is a game before yours and leave shortly afterwards. Please also avoid having spectators.

Please feel free to contact us if you have any further questions.

Regards
The FIBV Team
