‘Duck and do not touch that ball’: SA chief medical officer Nicola Spurrier’s advice to AFL fans

South Australia’s top health official, Nicola Spurrier, isn’t a footy head. But if she was, she’d be ducking.

Spurrier has won widespread plaudits in her state for her direct messaging during the coronavirus pandemic.

Now, she’s taken it to another level for Adelaide Oval’s AFL spectators.

“If the ball comes towards you, my advice is to duck and do not touch that ball,” Spurrier told reporters on Wednesday.

Spurrier, a professor who professes to preferring a run in the bush to ball sports, made the remark while detailing why AFL club Collingwood has been granted an exemption into South Australia to play Adelaide on Saturday.

SA’s borders remain closed to Victorians amid that state’s latest COVID-19 outbreak.

Why is that an issue

In a time of universal deceit — telling the truth is a revolutionary act.

No evidence whatsoever it can be attributed to George Orwell or Eric Arthur Blair (in fact the same guy)

She clarified her advice was that “whenever you touch an object – and this is an object touched by I-don’t -know-how-many very sweaty men on a football field – sanitise your hands immediately”.

“Just go and sanitise your hands before you start eating your chips,” she said.

She added that this was “advice I’d give pre-or-post-COVID”.

However, she emphasised that “these players do not have COVID”.
