Before you play

You must stay at home if you:

• Have been overseas or exposed to someone with COVID-19 in the last 10 days
• Have flu-like symptoms
• Or are in a high risk health category.

Attending table tennis activities

• Wash your hands before you play, and afterwards too
• Arrive and leave as close as possible to when you need to
• Exercise caution with common touch points (e.g. doors and gates)

Behaviours

To protect against infection, you should:

• Wash/sterilise your hands before and after you play and avoid touching your face while playing
• Not share water bottles and bring your own full bottle
• Wash your hands frequently with soap and water or hand-sanitiser when available. It is recommended to carry your own hand sanitiser with you
• Cover your coughs and sneezes and dispose of any used tissues immediately
• Avoid touching your face
• Do not attend if you are feeling unwell
• Avoid touching any shared surfaces (net posts, chairs etc). If you do touch anything that is not your own equipment, you must clean these thoroughly before you leave.
