A message from Wellington Rugby

You will all be aware of recent developments in relation to Covid-19 and the indefinite suspension of Super Rugby over the weekend. In terms of our local club rugby environment, we wish to advise the following:

Wellington Rugby, as with the NZR, continues to be guided by Government and Ministry of Health (MoH) advice.

As it currently stands, there are no restrictions on mass gatherings or community activities. However, given that this is a constantly moving situation, we will be continuing to monitor on a daily basis and provide regular updates; we will also be further guided by Government advice, due on Tuesday.

As per MoH advice It is important to emphasise maintaining good hygiene practices (see attached poster), including:
regular hand washing; covering coughs and sneezes; refrain from handshakes, high fives or hongis, and avoid close physical contact where possible.

It is also very important to remind players, coaches and other club personnel to stay away from training, club meetings and activities should people be feeling unwell.

The health and safety of all within our communities is paramount; Wellington Rugby is maintaining close contact with NZR and MoH advice and will update again shortly once we have further information to hand.
