Prior to each session, gymnasts are to sit/stand on one of the crosses on the ground while waiting and a coach will spray sanitiser on their feet before entering the gym floor.

Gymnastics equipment, high touch points and toilets are cleaned at the end of each day.

All gymnasts are to wear their own shoes when going to toilet facilities. We ask that hands are appropriately washed before exiting the toilet facilities.


 

IN THE POTENTIAL EVENT OF A COVID-19 CASE, THE FOLLOWING WILL OCCUR:

 

If we are made aware of a positive case that has been in contact with our venue/ participants/staff, we will seek government health advice.

The club will have ensured that SA Health via HealthCommunicableDiseases@sa.gov.au has been notified so they can trace any contacts of this person and contain the spread.

As required, we will close the premises for a dictated period. We will ensure a full environmental and disinfection clean. We will open doors and windows to further increase airflow.

SA Health will likely ask for our attendance records to assist with this process.

SA Health will assess whether other staff, participants or contractors may have been exposed to COVID-19, and direct them to self-quarantine at home.

Member contact information will be supplied to SA Health in the event it is requested.

We will communicate with members via email when it is safe to return.
