Why is this guidance being issued?
Lifesaving South Africa recognises that the economic benefits that clubs enjoy only occur when the club is active.
Activity in the community comes with the risks identified by the WHO and NICD for the continued spread of the
pandemic. To mitigate the risk the South African Government has created a mitigation strategy listing the acceptable
levels of activity in the Country. Lifesaving South Africa has adopted a similar framework in returning to the various
activities within the federation.
Level Descriptor
Means that drastic measures are required to contain the spread of the virus to save
5
lives.
Means that some activities can be allowed to resume subject to extreme precautions
4
required to limit community transmission and outbreaks.
Involves the easing of some restrictions, including on work and social activities, to
3
address a high risk of transmission.
Involves the further easing of restrictions, but the maintenance of physical distancing
2 and restrictions on some leisure and social activities to prevent a resurgence of the
virus
Means that most normal activity can resume, with precautions and health guidelines
1
followed at all times.
0 All Activities can return to normal
Information provided should help clubs understand how to help prevent the transmission of COVID-19 within club
membership and facilities. It also aims to help clubs react quickly should a case be identified. The guidance includes
considerations to help administrators plan for the continuity of duties and learning if there is a need to quarantine
members or staff within clubs or close clubs because of the spread of COVID-19.
THE OPENING OF THE CLUB TO VARIOUS ACTIVITIES:
Clubs may define for themselves the period in which they wish to resume activities and open their clubs within this
plan. Clubs may have essential service or contractual requirements that may impact on their preferred timeframes
for opening. Essential Services will resume activity prior to lifeguard training and sport. Clubs will be required to
operate according to the plan of action set out.
Social activities may not open until such time as the National Risk Mitigation Levels Gazetted allows.

Clubs with restaurants and alcohol sales must abide by the National Regulations regarding this aspect of their
business.
Access to the club is to be for registered members only, and with screening protocols in place.
Compliance Officers
All clubs, districts and provinces are to appoint a minimum of one compliance officer for the relevant entity. Each
compliance officer must be a registered member of the club in good standing of Lifesaving SA.
The role of the compliance officer:
1. To monitor and track compliance for the facility according to this guideline and any Directions from
Government.
2. To gather and correlate information relating to access and cleaning of the clubs.
3. To report back to their District, Province or National Compliance officers.
4. Annexure 1. Compliance officer declaration
Clubs that do not appoint a compliance officer will not be allowed to open for any activity, until such time as one is
appointed and submitted to LSA head office. All club that complies with the requirement to open will be issued with
a certificate of compliance. Should any club be found to have started activities without compliance they will be
suspended with immediate effect.

Access To The Club House:
Access to the clubs is restricted to registered members only and according to the Risk Mitigated Levels.
Every member wishing to access the club must sign an access register and be screened prior to entering.
Clubs without club houses must ensure the safe access of their members to the facilities being used.
Clubs with club houses must ensure there are separate monitored entrances and exits; where clubs have a single
entrance and exit point sufficient distancing protocols must be put in place to have a minimum of 2m between
individuals entering and exiting. This may require a staggered access and exit protocol.
Access to Municipal Facilities will be with compliance to all Municipal Guidelines.
Members and staff are to be encouraged to monitor their own health and to not attempt to access the club if they
feel ill.
Should the club have guests these should be by appointment only and will need to be willing to subject themselves
to the same restrictions and screening.

Daily Screenings
Clubs are required to maintain a register of all members who have access to their venues. Each member must
complete the screening questionnaire for themselves. These can be completed on paper, or online but must be
available for review prior to access to the club. Clubs are advised to select a method for control purposes and are
to advise Lifesaving SA head office of which method will be used in their operational plan.
Clubs are required to keep a register of all members, their residential address and contact details as well as those
of their next of kin in the same household. These details must be maintained for a minimum period of 6 months.
These details are to be captured into the Lifesaving SA, Lifeline Data base for record keeping.
Screening registers must be submitted to the compliance officer for record keeping. Online records must be
accessible by the compliance officer for contact and recording purposes.
An example of the screening registers a full form is attached as Annexure 2 and 3

Where a member has been infected by the Covid-19 Virus and has recovered they will need to submit a Medical
Letter of Clearance to resume their activities.
What Is The Role Of Clubs In Responding To Covid-19?
Decisions about appropriate Health interventions should always be made in discussion with compliance officers or
club, district or provincial officials who have access to all the relevant information. These decisions include:
1. Whether members should remain home from the club for a period of time; and
2. Whether members in sections of the club or the whole club should be closed for a period.

Clubs can take additional steps to help stop or slow the spread of respiratory infectious diseases, including COVID-
19 with the following:
❖ Make sure that everyone in the club has up to date information on how to prevent the spread of COVID-19
(link to NICD, www.nicd.ac.za, guidance on handwashing etc.)
❖ Display information at all access points and at the club houses with the relevant information.
❖ Monitor and plan for absenteeism.
Review attendance and sick leave policies. Encourage members and staff to stay home when sick.
Use flexibility, when possible, to allow staff to stay home to care for sick family members.
Discourage the use of perfect attendance awards and incentives as these may encourage people
to come to club sick.
Identify critical job functions and positions, and plan for alternative coverage by cross-training staff.
Determine what level of absenteeism will disrupt continuity of duties and instruction.
❖ Establish procedures for members and staff who are sick at club.
Establish procedures to follow when members and staff become sick at club or arrive at club sick,
as they should be sent home as soon as possible.
Keep sick members and staff separate from well members and staff until they can leave.
Remember that clubs are not expected to screen members or staff to identify cases of COVID-19.
Most respiratory illnesses are not COVID-19. If a club has cases of COVID-19, local health officials
will help identify those individuals and will follow up on next steps.
Share resources with the club community to help families understand when to keep members at
home.
❖ Create communication plans for use with the club community.
Include strategies for sharing information with staff, members, and their families.
Include information about steps being taken by the club or training facility to prepare, and how
additional information will be shared.
Members who plan to travel, or have recently travelled, to areas with community spread of COVID-19.
The South African Government may implement specific travel restrictions. Where these restrictions apply, members
who travell across the provincial or national borders within 14 days from accessing the club must declare so. There
is no need to isolate the member beyond the national guideline timeframe should anyone cross the borders into
high-risk areas and not show signs and symptoms.
Members who may have been exposed to a suspected case of COVID-19.
Exposure to a case is defined as being in direct contact with a confirmed Covid-19 case for a period of 15 minutes
or more. If anyone has been in contact with a suspected case in a club, no restrictions or special control measures
for the club are required while laboratory test results for COVID-19 are awaited. There is no need to close the club
or send other members or staff home.
Members who may have been exposed to a confirmed case of COVID-19.
All close contacts of a confirmed COVID-19 case are required to self-quarantine at home for 10 to 14 days while
being monitored for symptoms. They may not attend club. Members who are not contacts of a confirmed case
should not be prevented from attending club. Family and friends who have not had close contact with the original
confirmed case do not need to take any precautions or make any changes to their own activities such as attending
training or work, unless they become unwell. All case contacts who become symptomatic will be immediately
screened for COVID-19 and if found to be a case, active contact tracing and self-quarantine of all contacts is to be
implemented.

LIFESAVING SOUTH AFRICA
www.lifesaving.co.za
Action to be taken when a case of COVID-19 (Member or staff) is confirmed in your club
The club will be contacted by the relevant Health officials to discuss the case, identify people who
have been in contact with them and advise on any actions or precautions that should be taken. If
you are not contacted please contact the public hotline 0800 029 999 who will refer you to the
relevant contact.
An assessment of each club will be undertaken by the Health officials with relevant staff. Advice on
the management of members and staff will be based on this assessment.
If there is a confirmed case, a risk assessment will be undertaken by the club and district with
advice from the Health officials. In most cases, closure of the facility or club may be unnecessary.
This decision will be facility or club specific, based on various factors such as size and members
mixing.
How To Clean Clubs
Club and training facilities which have been completely closed for the full period of lockdown do not require deep
cleaning. It is acceptable that these clubs be thoroughly cleaned with household cleaning agents prior to any access
is granted.
Clubs that have social or shared equipment must deep clean all communal storage areas and equipment prior to
access. All equipment and especially those that may be used by 2 or more persons must be cleaned thoroughly
before and after use with household cleaning agents. Rinsing with water is insufficient to contain the virus. Where
club equipment is used it is advised that each item be logged out and in, maintaining a register of who uses it.
Clubs that have had administration or duty members using the venue must be sanitized completely prior to any
general member accessing the facility.
Routine cleaning of all facilities must be carried out daily prior to the opening and then throughout the day, with
additional attention to the high usage areas, toilets, tables, chairs, door handles.
Emergency / First Aid treatment room surface areas and non-disposable equipment must be cleaned and sanitized
with a cleaning product containing at least 70% alcohol, daily upon arrival and after each first aid case treated in
the room.
Where clubs have a suspected or confirmed case of COVID-19 within their members at the club cleaning should
include:
all surfaces and objects which are visibly contaminated with body fluids; and
all potentially contaminated high-contact areas such as toilets, door handles, telephones, etc.
Public areas where a symptomatic individual has passed through and spent minimal time in (such as corridors) but
which are not visibly contaminated with body fluids do not need to be specially cleaned and disinfected. If a person
becomes ill in a shared space, these should be cleaned as detailed above.
What to do with rubbish in the club, including tissues, if members, staff or others become unwell with
suspected COVID-19
All waste that has been in contact with the individual, including used tissues, and masks if used, should be put in a
clearly identified Bio-Hazzard plastic rubbish bag and tied when full. The plastic bag should then be placed in a
second bin bag and tied. It can then be put in the normal waste.
