Coronavirus (COVID-19) Update

Last updated: 14 January 2022

The Y will be updating this page as new information comes in. We are working with our Council partners and the State Government, with all actions taken in accordance to the decisions made by Queensland Health.

Our centres and services are open and operating under guidelines from the Government. 

The Y will endeavour to inform impacted members and/or their families if we are notified of a positive Covid-19 case at one of our locations where appropriate. 

We ask that if you have visited the Y and later return a positive result, please let us know when you visited our centre/service so we can inform other members if appropriate. Together we can all help to make the community as safe as possible.

Any temporary closures due to staff having to isolate or await test results will be communicated to affected members through email. We appreciate your patience and understanding in such situations - our priority is always to ensure the health and safety of our members, visitors and staff.

We will provide further updates on this webpage and our social media accounts, and in the meantime we hope you stay safe and well.

What is the Y doing to reduce the risk?

The Y is closely monitoring the situation and adhering to Australian and Queensland Government advice in relation to Novel Coronavirus.

The Y is also following its regular Covid-19 health and safety practices regarding cleaning of equipment, bathrooms and change rooms and our food handling procedures. This includes regular cleaning of equipment and toys. We will also be undertaking additional cleaning and disinfecting of high contact surfaces.

What do I need to do?

If you are displaying any COVID-19 symptoms, please obtain a COVID-19 PCR test or rapid antigen test as soon as possible and isolate at home while awaiting results. 

As per usual health and wellness guidance, we ask members, students and visitors who are unwell with respiratory illness should seek medical advice and remain at home until symptoms resolve.

We also ask that all members, students and visitors take the precautions advised by the public health experts including:

  • Wear a face mask, if over the age of 12. Masks may be removed when completing strenuous exercise or it is unsafe to wear one.
  • Frequently clean hands by using alcohol-based hand rub or soap and water.
  • When coughing and sneezing, cover mouth and nose with flexed elbow or tissue – dispose of tissue immediately and wash hands.
  • Avoid close contact with anyone who has fever and cough (stay more than 1.5 meters away).
Further Updates
We will continue to provide updates via our social media pages including Facebook and Instagram. We will update this information as circumstances change on our websites and via emails.
