Masks in Coro Juniors / Kids
We've had a few of our team asking and so clarified with SA Health earlier this week... when leading or helping in Coro Juniors or Coro Kids, masks do not need to be worn.
This is similar to the exemption for Child Care centres where Child Care workers are not required to wear masks. Masks must still be worn by leaders and helpers when in the main service, however they may be removed when helping or leading during Coro Juniors / Kids sessions.
