COV ID-19 Measures
If you have recently returned from overseas, or if you have travelled from a known COVID-19 ‘hotspot’ without a designated period of quarantine/isolation; or if you are awaiting the result of a COVID-19 t est; or if you are feeling unwell, or have flu-like symptoms, or if you hav e not been double vaccinated for COVID, please stay home.
All travel into regional NSW requires that you carry evidence of your double vaccinati on status – paper copy or download onto your phone. The NSW check-in app will not work at the HH as there is poor reception. Please ensure your contact details on the application form are correct.
Vaccinatio n helps but does not completely stop the spread of the COVID-19 virus. ; Therefore, we will do our best to make this event as COVID safe as possib le. For example, only one member of the team needs to come to registr ation. We would prefer you wear a mask at the admin tent although this is n ot mandatory. Bring the completed indemnity forms for each member of the team already completed and signed. This will avoid milling around rego and save you time! Maps, notes and Navlight tags will be handed out w ith minimal touching. Please drop your team-numbered flight plan dir ectly into the box provided. Touch points at the toilets will be cleaned re gularly.
At each water drops we will have 2 pumps inserted into water containers. Please use the hand sanitiser available before and after touching the pumps. Please maintain a safe 1.5m distance from other teams - including while doing your route planning, at the briefings, at the start and finish, and when approaching controls.
We have made the navlight punches hands-free by strapping them to the same feature as the control flag, mounted perpendicular to the feature and ready to use without needing to touch it with your hands. Just present your navli ght wrist tag to the reader so the navlight flashes in the usual way.
