Here are some simple ways you can protect yourself and your community:

• Wash your hands frequently. Regular and thoroughly clean your hands with an alcohol-based hand rub or wash them with soap and water.

• Maintain social distancing. Maintain at least 1 metre (3 feet) distance between yourself and anyone who is coughing or sneezing. 

• Avoid touching your eyes, nose and mouth.

• Practice respiratory hygiene. Cover your mouth and nose with your bent elbow or tissue when you cough or sneeze. Dispose of the tissue immediately.

• If you're feeling unwell, seek medical care early. If you have a fever, cough and difficulty breathing, seek medical attention and call in advance. 

• Stay home. If you or a member of your community are not well please stay home. 

• Stay informed. Follow the latest advice given by your healthcare provider about COVID-19.

• Wash bibs regularly. Preferably after every session.

• Avoid sharing. Where possible avoid sharing whistles and drink bottles, these should be cleaned regularly. 

• Avoid unnecessary contact. This includes hand shakes, hugs, high fives, kissing and selfies. 

• Allow extra spacing. For classroom style events, allow extra spacing between seats and provide hand sanitiser. 

• Clean equipment. Wipe down all equipment including the netball and goalposts with disinfectant before and after use. 

• Utilise showers. If facilites allow showers after training and games.
