Sport on hold again

Most community indoor and outdoor sporting activities such as team training sessions are again out of action as part of a return of stage-three restrictions in regional Victoria.

AFL Wimmera Mallee area manager Jason Muldoon was quick to inform sporting groups about the rules, clarifying that all community-sport training was banned.

“That means that no training for football or netball is to be allowed,” he said.

Under the sport-activity rules in place for at least the next six weeks, people can only exercise outdoors and take part in activities such as fishing, boating and surfing and playing golf or tennis with only one other person or household members. They must maintain a distance of at least 1.5 metres.
