A Statement From Coastalwatch on Surfing and the Coronavirus

"I’ve seen so many people taking the piss here in Australia carrying on as if things are normal. They’re not. Young people thinking it doesn’t affect us. It does...Let’s work together and use this time to slow down, take a breath and reconnect with what’s important."
It’s important to remember that COVID-19 is sneaky. Asymptomatic means you can have the infection with no symptoms and therefore be passing it along to others. Assume you have the infection until you know you don’t and act accordingly around others; keep your distance and quarantine yourself as much as possible.
Bottom line: We need to take this thing seriously, which means we all practise social distancing right now. Be safe and let’s watch out for each other as best we can.
