Brisbane Concert Choir COVID-19 policy 

(updated February 2023) 

​

Anyone infected with COVID-19 is no longer required by government mandate to go into isolation. 

​

However, Brisbane Concert Choir requests singers do not attend a rehearsal for at least five days after a positive Covid test, and that they wear a mask if attending within 10 days of a positive test. 

​

This policy is designed to ensure the choir is able to function effectively and meet its advertised public commitments, not to mention protect the health and well-being of all its individual members and their families and associates. 

​

We hope everyone continues to exercise caution about the risks of spreading illness, and that anyone who develops new respiratory symptoms within five days of a rehearsal, likewise not attend. Anyone with any cold or flu-like symptoms, whether Covid-related or not, should take all reasonable and sensible steps to avoid spreading infection to others at all times.

 

When attendance at a rehearsal is crucial in a period close to a performance, we ask that singers who are aware they may be at risk of spreading infection, wear a mask and sit in rehearsal apart from the main group of singers. 

​

Asymptomatic close contacts of those infected with Covid can attend rehearsals without restriction, although preferably with the security of a negative RAT immediately before the rehearsal. 

 

The choir requests of everyone, a responsible and active approach to limiting the spread of Covid-19 and, as part of that, to be mindful especially of the potential indirect risks to aged and vulnerable people whose survival may be at issue.
