Racing Queensland has published an addendum to its COVID-19 Racing Code Protocols.
Following this morning’s announcement by the Queensland Government, mandatory temperature testing will return to all TAB race meetings across the state.
In addition, face masks are to be worn at all times whilst indoors in the Core Racing Areas and areas of compromised physical distancing, including in mounting yards, behind barriers and starting boxes.
Jockeys and drivers are not required to wear a face mask whilst racing but must wear a face mask at all other times.
This applies to all TAB race meetings across the state.
Patrons are able to attend race meetings within the impacted LGAs, but must also comply with all Queensland Health directions.
This includes the need to wear face masks when indoors, as well as outdoors when not able to physically distance.
Official trials will be restricted to Essential Racing Personnel only during this period.
