Summary of current COVID Safe Requirements Click above for full summary We understand that trying to keep up with the changes to government requirements can be daunting and confusing. To ensure clarity Synod have summarised a list of the current requirements for the most common situations. This is not an exhaustive list of every situation, for further details please visit the COVID-19 Safe Roadmap site https://nswact.uca.org.au/COVID19saferoadmap/
Following is an exert in regards to gatherings and meetings and Worship In all gatherings and meetings Maintain 1.5m physical distancing
Maintain hand hygiene
Practice respiratory hygiene (cough into elbow etc)
Stay home when sick
Maintain attendance lists for tracing purposes
Complete COVID Safety Plan and have copy onsite (we are told police are randomly checking – even in rural areas)
Maintain strict COVID Safe cleaning regime
Get tested if unwell Worship Decide whether the risk of meeting face to face can be confidently managed. Synod cannot decide this for you as it does not have the authority. It is a local Church Council decision.
If you do meet in person:
Register as a COVID Safe Business
Max number 100 subject to 42 m rule (whichever is the lesser)
Masks highly recommended for ages 12 and up especially in areas where there has been community transmission
Singing is extremely high risk. Synod recommends no singing. This includes no humming, chanting, dancing, or similar activities, even if people wear masks.

Brian will come and pick them up and make sure they get to Fiji.
