The Australian Government has today announced new community sport guidelines to combat the spread of COVID-19.

This follows ongoing consultation with sporting organisations and is focused on providing relevant advice on change room access, physical contact, travel, and social distancing and hygiene practices.

The guidelines published by the Australian Government do not call for an immediate cancellation to sports participation. Rather, the guidelines instruct sporting organisations to follow aggressive social distancing, hand hygiene and isolation practises.

These requirements along with the full community sport guidelines can be found here from the Sport Australia website.
