COVID19
Page last updated DECEMBER 22nd 2021
The NSW Government has published the Public Health (COVID-19 General) Order (No 2) 2021. The object of this Order is to repeal and remake the Public Health (COVID-19 General) Order 2021 as part of the roadmap for easing restrictions concerning COVID-19.
Reduced COVID-19 restrictions are now in place in NSW. These rules apply to everyone in NSW, regardless of vaccination status.
Changes to rules include:
• density limits no longer apply
• proof of vaccination is not required at many venues
• QR check-in is now only needed for certain high-contact premises
• face masks no longer need to be worn at many indoor areas.
Given the current spread occurring in our state, we all have an obligation to protect our community and ourselves. Therefore, the NSWTA strongly recommends that QR check-ins remain. We also strongly recommend the need for social distance and Affiliates should actively promote social distancing and good hygiene at all venues.
NSW Health strongly advises people to get fully vaccinated and wear a face mask where they cannot socially distance themselves.

The NSW Touch Association is in full support of the Australian Government’s COVIDSafe app, as part of the plan to have Australia in readiness for a return to community sport.
The app has been launched by the Government as part of its plan to slow the spread of COVID-19, and it will help health officials to quickly alert people who may be at risk of having contact with the virus. Downloading the app is something you can do to protect you, your family, and friends and save the lives of other Australians.
The health and wellbeing of all our participants are of paramount importance to us.
The COVIDSafe app is available to download for your smartphone via the Apple app store or Google Play
