The following is a Return to Sports Update regarding restrictions announced by the Victorian Government on Tuesday 25 May.

In response to the growing COVID-19 case numbers in Victoria as of this week, the Victorian Government and the Department of Health (formerly DHHS) have implemented a number of new restrictions for Greater Melbourne, effective as of Tuesday 25 May 2021 at 6 pm AEST.

· Private gatherings at home will be limited to five people per day

· Outdoor public gatherings will be limited to 30 people

· Face masks will need to be worn indoors by everyone over 12 years of age unless a medical exemption applies

What does this mean for Community Basketball? 

We have been in discussions with SRV and VicSport, while we do not currently have exact information on the Restricted Activity Directions (RADs) – at this stage basketball competitions and programs can continue without any additional restrictions outside of the mandatory wearing of masks for everyone except coaches, players and referees in an exertive role as well as those with a medical exemption. All associations will need a COVIDSafe plan to continue operations.

These restrictions currently do not apply to Regional Victoria. Victorians who live in Greater Melbourne and need to travel to regional Victoria can still do so however, the restrictions travel with them. Victorians visiting regional Victoria from Melbourne will also need to wear a face mask when indoors even when outside of metropolitan Melbourne, unless an exemption applies.

Basketball Victoria will continue to make further updates regarding our Return to Sport Guidelines and any additional restrictions as soon as possible. We appreciate your patience and understanding during this time.

Greater Melbourne

Masks: Mandatory for everyone over the age of 12 years old except coaches, players and referees in an exertive role as well as those with a medical exemption.

QR Code Reporting

Basketball Victoria recommends the use of QR codes for all patrons to ensure sufficient attendance records are maintained over the coming months as we return to sport.

The Victorian Government has launched a new and free QR Code Service which will help venues and businesses to keep records of visitors. To use the service, you only need to register the venue or business, download and print a poster containing a Victorian Government QR Code, and display it prominently.

In addition, a PlayHQ COVID report is available for players, coaches and team managers who participate on a given day/night and are tagged into electronic scoring if a case arises. If required, please lodge a support ticket via https://support.playhq.com/Return to Sports Update – 25 May
