NETFIT Netball staff and contractors are asked to stagger their arrival times should they be working across separate time shifts at the same location to ensure that unnecessary contact and crossover of personnel does not occur.

NETFIT Netball also ensures that it’s staff and contractors are limited to particular work contracts, or contract “hubs” to ensure that there is no crossover between worksites of various NETFIT Netball staff and contractors, aiming to contain any COVID or general illness outbreaks should they occur at any particular worksite or personally through any staff member or contractor.

Attendee Arrival & Group Bubbles
