Update 3 - COVID-19 restrictions easing but bridge clubhouses still closed

With apologies to those who have already read the latest ABF newsletter, excerpts are reprinted below for our GLBC members. We hope everyone remains safe, healthy and connected in these unusual times, and we look forward to seeing everyone back in our clubhouse soon...

"The literally million-dollar question is when will bridge clubs be opening again? The next couple of months will be critical for the Government’s three-step roadmap to creating a COVID Safe Australia or will we get a second wave as the restrictions are progressively lifted. 

Bridge has its own special issues with a vulnerable aging cohort, maintaining physical distancing, density requirements of 4sqm per person and hygiene with the use of cards, boards and Bridgemates.

The ABF [will] develop minimum hygiene standards guidelines for clubs, state organisations and the ABF. The national event Tournament Organisers, in consultation with State and Federal bodies and the ABF will determine the feasibility of holding each tournament."
