Sport and recreation at Red

Indoor and outdoor sports, including sporting events, can go ahead at Red. This includes professional and community sports, like organised social touch rugby.

Recreation facilities

Indoor and outdoor recreation facilities can open at Red. This includes:

• gyms

• health clubs
• ice skating rinks
• bowling alleys
• parks and playgrounds

• outdoor exercise classes.

Businesses can choose to follow My Vaccine Pass requirements and ask to see your My Vaccine Pass.

Private clubs, such as golf or tennis clubs, that are not members-only indoor exercise facilities, can choose to restrict their facilities to vaccinated people only. Contact your local club to find out how they are operating.

There is no capacity limit for outdoor sporting events or recreation facilities, for example, exercise classes, community sports or parks and playgrounds.

Indoor sport and recreation facilities, for example, stadiums, indoor arenas, or gyms, can have up to 200 people based on 1-metre distancing, in a defined space at the venue at any time.

As there can be multiple defined spaces, this means:

• you can have multiple groups of spectators — they need to be 2 metres from any other group, and
• multiple games running at once — they must be 2 metres away from other groups.

It is the responsibility of the business or organiser to ensure indoor venues comply with capacity limits.

Defined spaces at Red

The limit does not include workers at the venue.

Face masks help reduce the spread of COVID-19. At Red, you are encouraged to wear a face mask whenever you leave your house.
