COVID-19 14 December 2020 17 November 2020: summary of New Covid Directions from Sport SA here 16 November 2020 2 October 2020 OFFICIAL Good afternoon As the community gears up for summer sport and recreational activities, there are measures that your organisation/club will need to put in place to help stop the spread of COVID-19 in the community. Many of you will already be aware of these measures but for those gearing up for the summer season please note the information below. COVID-Safe Plan Sport and recreational activities are required to have and display a COVID-Safe Plan, to demonstrate that they have considered all aspects of conducting the activity in a safe manner. The COVID Safe Plan page explains who needs to create a COVID-Safe Plan, how to create a Plan and outlines the obligations and responsibilities of the organisation/club in implementing the Plan. COVID Management Plan Sport and recreational activities where more than 1,000 people are likely to be present must also have an approved COVID Management Plan. The COVID Management Plan page explains who needs a COVID Management Plan, how to create one and the approval process. This detailed document must be approved by SA Health. Early submission of the plan will ensure that you can have your plan in place without restricting attendance. COVID Marshal Sport and recreational activities are required to have a trained COVID Marshal on site. A COVID Marshal’s role is to take reasonable actions to ensure that all people on site comply with COVID-Safe practices, such as physical distancing, capacity limits, infection control, and hygiene rules. The COVID Marshal page explains the activities that require a COVID Marshal, who can be a COVID Marshal, the difference between a nominated and a dedicated COVID Marshal, and provides a link to the COVID Marshal training. Updated Directions It has been announced by the Premier that as of midnight tonight, drinking alcohol while standing (outside only) will be permitted. At this stage the updated Emergency Management Direction that will include specific details, has not been released. Refer to this page for the updated Direction as it becomes available: Emergency Management Direction. As new sporting seasons commence, I would like to stress again that we cannot be complacent. We’ve done a great job so far so let’s not undo all the good. Keep playing your part to help stop the spread:

Return to Sport Notice to Members 12 Jun 2020 – Cancellation of SA Skate 2020 (pdf here) Dear Members, SAISA regretfully advises that SA Skate 2020 has been cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic and the flow on impacts on returning to sport as guided by the SA Government advisory groups. Below is the updated Return to Sport advice from the Office for Recreation, Sport and Racing (ORSR). Kind regards, Update from the Office for Recreation, Sport and Racing Following today’s meeting of the National Cabinet the Premier has made some important announcements about the easing of COVID -19 restrictions in South Australia. The key points that relate to sport and recreation are as follows: Introduction of Stage 2.5 - from Friday 19 June · This will be an interim step before we move to Stage 3 of the roadmap · The number of people allowable in a room (or a group outside) within a venue will increase from 20 to 75 providing 1 person per 4 square metres can be accommodated. This will apply to training or competition groups. · The total number of people allowed in a venue will increase from 80 to 300 providing 1 person per 4 square metres can be accommodated. Again this will apply to all people, indoor and outdoor who are gathered at a club. Stage 3 will commence earlier than expected on Monday 29 June · There will be no room or venue limit. This will be replaced with only a density requirement of 1 person per 4 square metres From Monday 20 July · Border restrictions will be lifted · There will be no requirement on entry to SA to self-isolate for 14 days While gyms for individual workouts can increase numbers in line with the above roadmap, increasing the cap of 10 participants in dance and fitness classes is still being considered. We are still waiting on guidance regarding indoor contact sport. As always organisations must submit their COVID Safe Plan before commencing activity and should ensure that cleaning and hygiene regimes are enforced. Jun 2 2020

Letter from SAISA to Members 19 March 2020 pdf version We are writing to update you on SAISA’s standpoint in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. We are watching with concern and are aware of the wide range of stringent measures being implemented here and in different jurisdictions around the world in efforts to slow the spread of the virus. First and foremost, we are aligning our actions with advice from State and Federal Government, not only via enforceable restrictions but also the recommended precautionary measures to protect our vulnerable members. Whilst we have not been notified of any confirmed cases of COVID-19 among our members, our first priority is the health and wellbeing of our community. We are currently liaising with a wide range of stakeholders. Some include: - The Office of Recreation, Sport and Racing (OSRR); - The South Australian Ice Sports Federation (SAISF) as the managing body of the Figure Practice Sessions, Skate School and the Ice ArenA, and; - Ice Skating Australia (ISA) who are also being guided by the International Skating Union (ISU). For updates from the SAISF (Ice ArenA) please monitor their COVID-19 update webpage. The Office of Sport, Recreation & Racing (OSRR) will also offer updates and advice to minimise the spread within sporting environments to all athletes, parents, coaches & spectators. Please visit their website for details. Coaches, SportSA have also shared a checklist, which you’re welcome to use. Unfortunately, following guidance from the above bodies tailored to our circumstances, we were required to cancel the March testing session. The possibility of running the 16 April test session is being monitored. SAISA will also continue to be mindful of any possible impacts to the 2020 competition schedule, Disney on Ice Pre-Show, camps & workshops. We must highlight that we respect that the SAISF¸ coaches and the wider skating community are facing some unprecedented challenges over the coming months. We encourage everyone to support and care for each other during what is a difficult time. In regards to continuing any on or off ice training, please stay in contact with your coach. We will continue to follow Federal and State authority advice regarding this pandemic to keep our community safe. When more information comes to light in regards to your 20/21 skating season we will of course be in contact with you all.
