UPDATED: Sports cancellations due to COVID-19
By Sara Quelch | Posted: Monday March 16, 2020
Yesterday the New Zealand Government confirmed that due to the ongoing containment efforts regarding Covid-19 - events or gatherings of more than 500 people should be cancelled. In addition, it was announced there will be further advice by the end of this week in regard to medium and small sized events.
With this in mind a number of our sporting organisations have had to make decisions about their competitions.
Junior touch has been suspended until further notice.
Futsal has been suspended this week with more information to come about next week and future weeks of the competition
Water polo has been suspended until further notice.
Otago Primary Swimming champs: Cancelled.
Cricket cancelled.
These decisions have not been taken lightly, and the purpose is to prioritise the health and wellbeing of our members and their Whānau.
We will endeavour to keep you updated with any other changes as we are made aware of them.
