ATTENTION NEWCASTLE COVID UPDATE

As you’re all probably aware there are now 3 active COVID cases in Newcastle with the potential to quickly spread giving the nature of the virus.

We have decided that it is safe for youth to go ahead this evening, however we have changed the original plan to be above reproach and mitigate the risk of participating in the spread. The following changes have been made:

1. Split to life groups in seperate locations (complying with government restrictions – see bottom of page for details)

2. Called/texted parents and students directly to update them and ensure they don’t attend a life group if they’ve been in a local hotspot.

3. Regular social distancing and cleaning practices at venues.

If you or a family member have been at one of the following places or are unwell, please stay at home and rest tonight.

Hunter New England Local Health District is urging anyone who attended the following venues at the specified times to immediately self-isolate and seek testing:

• Bennett Hotel, Hamilton – Friday 31 July, from 5.30pm to 10.00pm
