NSW Relaxes Virus Restrictions on Sport

June 3, 2020 by

Officials have recently announced that New South Wales, the most populated state in Australia, will be opening up more of its sporting facilities as of the middle of this month. This is in the wake of almost a week of no new cases of the novel coronavirus COVID-19 via community transmission being reported for a week.

Numerous states and territories across the country have been easing social distancing regulations, albeit at different paces, recently. It’s all been part of the slow cessation of the lockdown ordered in March 2020 in a bid to contain the pandemic. Restaurants, cafés, bars, and shops have started reopening, but limits have been placed on the number of patrons as officials do their best to jumpstart our economy.

New South Wales is not only home to a third of Australia’s populations, but sadly the bulk of its COVID-19 infections as well. But gyms, saunas, and indoor swimming pools will be allowed to start up again from the 13th of June, and children’s community sport will follow soon thereafter, being permitted from July 1.

Speaking to reporters in Sydney recently, NSW Sports Minister Geoff Lee said that sport is part of the DNA of Australians, vital not just for our physical fitness, but playing an important part in our mental wellbeing as well. States and territories have promised that most social distance restrictions will be removed by July thanks to new daily cases of the disease slowing down to either low double-digit or single-digit numbers.
