City Council agrees park unlikely to be source of skin infection
23 May 2003
Christchurch City Council will assist the local Community and Public Health
(CPH) team in any investigation of cellulitis infection among some
city rugby players but agrees with CPH that the condition is unlikely to
be traced
to one of its grounds.
Cellulitis is not uncommon in the sport and
rugby codes in the past have been given information about countering
its spread from player
to player, the usual means of infection, a spokesperson for the
Council says.
However, the City Council is happy to work with Community
and Public Health in any way to ensure the city’s players feel confident
about the safety of sports grounds and well informed about how
to avoid the spread
of any infection.
Christchurch City Council welcomes any assistance
the news media can provide in ensuring accurate information is
put before the public in this matter.
