Dear Members,
Royal Prince Alfred Yacht Club will close our doors until Monday.
We have not been asked to close and have not been named as a venue of ‘close or casual contact’ by NSW Health, however in light of the news today we believe this is the best thing to do to keep our members and staff safe. By doing this, we aim to assist in stopping the spread of COVID-19 on the Northern Beaches.
We will continue to update Members & guests via our website and through social media.
We urge everyone to read the most recent NSW Health Public Health Alert for the Northern Beaches (below).
If you have any questions or require further information please email us rpayc@rpayc.com.au
For the most up to date & accurate advice please view NSW Health Media Release alerts page: https://www.health.nsw.gov.au/news/Pages/2020-nsw-health.aspx
Please look after yourself and those around you.
Kind regards
Craig Evans
General Manager
NSW PUBLIC HEALTH ALERT – NORTHERN BEACHES
NSW Health can advise that 17 cases of COVID-19 have now been identified in the Northern Beaches area, including cases diagnosed yesterday and today.
As a number of new cases are currently being interviewed, it is likely that a number of new venues will be identified and that people in the northern beaches may have attended these venues.
Therefore, to assist contact tracing and to contain any potential spread of COVID-19, we ask that for the next three days, people residing in the Northern Beaches Local Government Area take the following steps:
•Work from home and remain at home as much as possible
•Do not visit friends or relatives in aged care facilities or hospitals unless essential
•Avoid unnecessary gatherings
•Keep to your household group
•Avoid visiting high-risk venues including clubs, restaurants, places of worship and gyms
•Avoid unnecessary travel outside the Northern Beaches area.
At this time, we request that people from outside the area should avoid unnecessary travel to the Northern Beaches.
There are more than 300 COVID-19 testing locations across NSW, many of which are open seven days a week. To find your nearest clinic visit https://www.nsw.gov.au/…/how-to-protect-yourself-an…/clinics or contact your GP.
