COVID Safe Update for MembersDear Members,
Queensland Health has revised the number of people able to meet together (down to 30 people at any one time) in unrestricted areas of the state. Sunshine Coast is on the unrestricted list. However, if facilities have a COVID Safe Plan then the arrangements under Stage 3 remain in place.
Our larger activities, especially our “sporting activities” are carried out in Council facilities which are covered by COVID Safety Plans. U3A has also provide our COVID Safe Commitment and Risk Assessment for each facility.
Revisit our COVID Safe Brochure to remind yourself of your responsibilities when you attend classes to stay safe. A copy of the brochure may be downloaded here.
