A second South Coast club has shut its doors temporarily after a number of people who visited the club have tested positive to COVID-19.
Club Malua, which was severely damaged from the New Year’s Eve Clyde Mountain bushfire, has been told by NSW Health that people who have tested positive to the virus visited the club on July, 7, 8 and 12.
Cabra Bowls Group said the club will remain closed for 14 days as per the recommended guidelines.
“This being the case, Cabra Bowls Group have made the decision to close the club and the bowling greens effective immediately. A deep clean of the premises will be outsourced to a certified cleaning company at the very earliest availability,” Cabra Bowls Group said in a statement on Club Malua’s social media.
“All staff and patrons who have visited the club on these days have had their contact details provided to NSW Health.
“We are very committed to the safety of our staff, customers, and wider community and will continue to operate under the advice which NSW Health has provided to us. NSW Health has advised those with symptoms to get tested and stay home.”
This comes after visitors and staff, who attended the Batemans Bay Soldiers Club on July 13, 15, 16 and 17, were told self isolate for two weeks. A father and son who tested positive after they returned to Sydney visited the Soldiers Club on July 13.
Since then six new cases have been linked to the cluster.
