In response to the ongoing risks presented by the emerging COVID-19 situation in WA, the Board of Francis Burt Chambers has adopted the following policy effective 22 October 2022:
Please do not attend our Chambers, and either arrange an online meeting or reschedule any in-person meeting, if you:
- are experiencing fever, cough, sore throat or any other cold or flu symptoms or have any other symptoms that may be consistent with COVID-19; or
- test positive for COVID-19 (in which case you must not attend Chambers for at least 7 days following a positive test, remain away from Chambers until you are no longer symptomatic, and (in addition) comply with any current published WA Government directions (WA Directions)); or
- have for any length of time had face-to-face contact or shared a closed space with someone who has been diagnosed with COVID-19 (while they were considered infectious) (close contact) (in which case you must get tested immediately and stay away from Chambers pending the result).
Anyone attending Chambers must:
- wear a mask at all times if you are a close contact (having received a negative test result and not being symptomatic);
- present at our reception desk on Level 25 unless visiting Level 12; and
- practise safe physical distancing of at least 1.5m and avoid physical contact such as shaking hands.
Anyone attending Chambers is also encouraged to wear a mask while on our premises, and must do so if required by any WA Directions.
Thank you for your cooperation.
