As of Saturday 23 April 2022, patrons attending any South Australian racing venue will no longer be required to show proof of double COVID 19 vaccination. This change has been made on the basis of South Australia’s high vaccination rate, continued easing of restrictions and the return to 100% capacity.
It will still be a requirement that all industry participants, essential racing personnel and staff (including race club staff) are double vaccinated with a TGA approved COVID-19 vaccine.
Racing SA Essential racing personnel are defined as:
• Racing SA stewards and veterinarians
• Trainers, jockeys and stablehands with a runner at the race meeting
• Barrier attendants, starters and essential track staff
• Clerks of the course
• Judges and photo finish operator
• Weighing room staff and jockeys’ attendants
• Raceday event staff and security including horse stalls, mounting yards and float carpark
• Ambulance services
• Farriers and other essential service providers approved by Racing SA in conjunction with the club
• Broadcast services including the racecaller
• Restricted core racing media as approved by Racing SA and the club
• Restricted operational race club staff and management
