COVID-19 UPDATE – IMPORTANT INFORMATION – YOUR HEALTH AND SAFETY IS OUR PRIORITY

The Chief Health Officer is introducing new directions in the interests of public health and safety.  From today, all patrons entering the Batchelor Swimming Pool, and the Adelaide River and Batchelor Community Libraries will be required to complete an attendance register.  This is to assist with contact tracing, in the event there should be a case of COVID-19 in our community.

You will be asked to record your name and phone number, the date of your attendance, and time you arrived and left the venue.  The Northern Territory Government requires everyone to provide this information.  There are no exceptions.  Patrons who refuse to provide this information, will be declined entry.

More information can be found at the following link https://coronavirus.nt.gov.au/updates/items/2020-11-02-covid-safety-supervisors-and-safe-check-in-systems or contact Council directly on 8976 0058 if you have any questions or concerns.

Over the next few weeks, similar protocols will be established at all Council venues.

To ensure your health and safety, Council will continue to maintain high levels of cleaning and hygiene and we ask you to remember to practice safe physical distancing and wash your hands regularly, or use the hand sanitiser dispensers that can be found at all Council public venues.
