Equestrian Queensland Coronavirus (Covid-19) Update - Saturday 22 August 2020

Equestrian Queensland (EQ) is closely monitoring the current COVID-19 situation and the directions and advice from the Queensland Government.

Currently equestrian competition and activity is permitted under the strict conditions and requirements in the Queensland Outdoor Sport Industry Plan.

Given the developing situation we understand that some organising committees in South East Queensland may decide to postpone their events this weekend.

EQ supports any event organiser who decides to postpone their event. Equally, EQ supports event organisers who continue with their events this weekend.  Competitions and events are permitted as along as they are complying with the Queensland Outdoor Sport Industry Plan and the EQ COVID-SAFE Event Protocol Checklist.

The key messages for all participants remain, everyone must;

• Stay at home if you are sick or unwell,
• Check in/sign in on arrival and check out/sign out when leaving,
• Practice good hygiene, wash hands regularly,
• Physical distance, stay at least 1.5m from others.

EQ will continue to monitor the situation and provide advice.
