WHAT TO DO IF YOU OR SOMEONE YOU KNOW TESTS POSITIVE TO COVID19

31/12/2022

GRV encourages participants feeling unwell not to attend racetracks and greyhound facilities.

If you test positive to COVID19, the Dept of Health has developed a checklist of instructions on how to manage your health, including isolation and additional testing requirements, and who you must notify, which is available here.  If you attended a track while infectious (i.e. 48 hours prior to symptoms or positive test if no symptoms) you MUST notify the Club and GRV.

If a family member or friend has tested positive, you may be a COVID contact.  The Dept of Health has developed a checklist that will help you know if you are, and what you need to do, which is available here.

COVID related support is available by calling the Participant Support Line on 1300 144 360.

STAY SAFE, STAY RACING
