HOMESTEAD BAY RUN – Sunday 20th September 2020

Whilst adhering to government regulations and recommended guidelines around mass gatherings at events operating in ‘Alert Level 2’ you will be pleased to hear that this Sundays event at HOMESTEAD BAY will be ‘ON’ albeit structured differently to normal on the day of event for the safety and wellbeing of all those attending.

The team are as excited about hosting the event as much as you are excited about taking part and we have detailed below how the event will unfold on the day and politely ask you to follow our guidelines in order to participate safely whilst having fun.

*Please note the guidelines below will be updated periodically therefore we ask that you keep monitoring this page for updates right up to the event.

SAFETY FIRST:

Whilst we are excited to be hosting Sundays event and implementing safety measures in order to do so, we do ask you to stay home and avoid attending the event if you are:

If you’re feeling sick or have any symptoms of COVID-19, cold and flu-like symptoms, we recommend you stay at home and not socialise with anyone.

PHYSICAL DISTANCING:

Physical distancing at Alert Level 2

At Alert Level 2, you can leave home and do many aspects of everyday life. You should follow public health measures and consider others around you.

We still need to be careful and socialise safely to keep COVID-19 under control.

What we can do:

  • Keep a 2 metre distance in public. Take extra care if you interact with people you don’t know as it won’t be easy to do contact tracing if needed. This means making the space when you’re in places like playgrounds, parks, retail businesses, shopping malls or walking along the street.
  • Keep 1 metre physical distance in ‘controlled environments’ where contact tracing and other public health measures are possible. This includes places like cafes, church groups, gatherings, restaurants and gyms.

You can socialise at Alert Level 2, but keep track of where you’ve been and who you’ve seen. This is easier if you socialise with people you know well.

If you’re feeling sick or have any symptoms of COVID-19, cold and flu-like symptoms, we recommend you stay at home and not socialise with anyone.
