From DDCA

Good afternoon everyone.

As stated last Thursday, the COVID-19 restrictions of things you can and
can’t do are very much a day to day thing.

Here is the latest news on the Use of Cricket Nets from Cricket Victoria
:

Late this morning (Tuesday 29th September) the Premier has confirmed
that under the “Second Step” in the roadmap for Metro Melbourne, nets
can be opened for public use.

This doesn’t mean training can start, but the community (including
cricketers) can use public nets in their area (see details below).

Under “2nd Step” – Metropolitan Melbourne

· No training sessions can commence.

A household (or up to 5 people from 2 households) can meet outdoors for
exercise or recreation for up to 2 × 1-hour sessions per day – within
5km from home / work.
This includes using cricket ovals and nets.

People using the nets should sanitise hands before and after use, avoid
sharing any personal equipment and avoid touching the nets (or communal
stumps / bins etc).
Masks can be lowered or removed when actively bowling (especially pace
bowling) and encouraged for use whilst batting (but lowered to under the
nose if causing a dangerous visibility risk under a helmet).

Hope this helps, stay safe
