What to do if you test positive to Covid-19?

Covid-19 continues to circulate within the wider community and it is possible that a member of the Shark family could test positive. If this is you and, you have been at the club at any time within a period of 48 hours prior to feeling symptoms or 48 hours prior to receiving a positive test, then we ask that you contact the club President, club Secretary or anyone else on our Contacts Page that you feel comfortable to talk with. This will allow the club to identify any social contacts in our Shark family who can then be notified so that they can get tested if they are feeling unwell. 

If you test positive you are required to self-quarantine for seven days from the day that you took the test. 

Other Restrictions

· Masks are not required to be worn indoors or outdoors.

· Check-in is not required.

The above restrictions apply to all cricket clubs. It is expected that people from opposition clubs visiting Washington Park will comply with the above requirements and, that when Washington Park teams are playing at opposition venues that all Washington Park people will comply with the above restrictions and any other restrictions that may be in place at the particular opposition venue.
