Hockey WA COVID-19 Update I 1 July 2021

Hockey WA is keen for hockey activities to resume post the State Government-imposed lockdown period, however a decision cannot be made until the Government’s position is determined. Hockey WA’s focus during this period is to keep members regularly updated in this changing landscape.

Hockey WA reiterates that, in line with the recently announced four-day lockdown across the Perth Metropolitan and Peel regions, no hockey activities are to occur from 12:01am Tuesday 29 June until 12:01am Saturday 3 July.  

Hockey WA will communicate a decision on Friday 2 July regarding the status of the commencement of hockey activities at the end of the lockdown period at 12:01am Saturday 3 July. This includes the Fuel to Go & Play Championships, due to commence on Monday 5 July.

Hockey WA continues to strenuously encourage everyone to continue following the current WA State Government Guidelines, including:  

• Wearing a mask, unless; while at home, during vigorous outdoor exercise, while in a vehicle with members of your own household.  
• Stay at home, unless; for work if you are an essential worker, for purchasing essential goods, for one hour of outdoor exercise per day within 5km of your home, for medical or health care purposes.  
• Following healthy hygiene practices.  
• Maintaining social distancing of 1.5m at all times.  
• Downloading and using the SafeWA App and signing in at all venues.  
• If you are unwell or have any symptoms, stay home.  
• If you have been to any of the exposure sites, get tested and remain home until you have returned a negative test result - more information on exposure sites and testing here 

The health and safety of the community remains Hockey WA’s number one priority. Please stay safe.  

Further updates will be communicated tomorrow, Friday 2 July, with a hope for return to play to commence on Saturday.
