• All participants must adhere to the 1.5m social distancing rule, to keep everyone safe

• Stay at home if you are showing ANY of the following symptoms: a fever (≥38°C) or history of fever (e.g. night sweats, chills) OR acute respiratory infection (e.g. cough, shortness of breath, sore throat, loss of smell), OR new onset headache, myalgia, stuffy nose, nausea, vomiting and diarrhoea.

• RSVP to a hike only if you are 100% certain you are attending. Remember that if you say you are coming, then don’t attend, someone else misses out.

• Cough into your elbow.

• Enjoy nature and walking in the bush together but most importantly keep yourself and others safe.
