Reopening update

The Prime Minister unveiled the plan to "get back to normal" last week. I think they're already back pedalling in how "normal" it'll be.

The news is that we expect to be allowed to open during "phase 2". NSW is a week behind the other states in opening up phase 1.

Phase 2 looks to be approx 1 month away.

As hinted last week, it will not be back to normal.
Still scarce details but at a minimum there will be restricted class numbers (between 10 and 20, still unconfirmed) and social distancing must still apply.
Our expectation of going back to mid March style socially distant training seems about right.

As we go back to in person classes the following are important to remember:

• If joining in person, you MUST book via the member site. Penalties will apply for reserving a spot and not showing up.
• We will have to turn people away if the class is full. You'll know if it's full if everyone books via the member site.
• Stay home if you're sick
• We will run online classes simultaneously.
• If you are in class you may accidentally end up on the broadcast.
• Timetable is likely to have even more classes especially if the attendance limit is 10 people per class (this includes instructors)
• We've got to be cautious of second waves. South Korea and Germany added to the list of Hong Kong and Singapore.
