Recommendation re mask wearing

The wearing of masks when attending U3A classes and activities is a personal choice, but Class Leaders have the right to request members of their class to wear a mask while in that classroom.

Please do not attend any venue where a U3A Nunawading class or activity is taking place if you are unwell in any way, even if you have tested negative for COVID.

Members are encouraged to follow medical advice and have COVID-19 booster vaccinations as soon as they are eligible.

Recommendation re mask wearing

With the current surge in COVID-19 cases, the Committee of Management strongly recommends that members wear masks when at the Hub unless they are doing strenuous exercise.

Out of respect for the health of your fellow members, please do not attend classes if you have any cold, flu or COVID symptoms, or are feeling unwell in any way, even if you have tested negative for COVID.

U3A Nunawading undertakes to advise members of any class where a member of that class informs the Committee of Management that they have tested positive to COVID-19 within seven days of attending that class.

Members are encouraged to follow medical advice and have the latest Covid-19 booster vaccinations (2nd booster) as soon as they are eligible.

It is in everyone’s interest to keep safe and well. Thank you for your cooperation.
