Templates for COVID Management Plans can be accessed online. High risk public activities that require a COVID Management Plan include:
- Gatherings and activities of more than 1,000 people.
- Licenced premises under the Liquor Licencing Act 1997 where both dancing and the consumption of liquor occurs.
- The operation of a nightclub, where the principle purpose of the premise is for the consumption of liquor, the playing of loud, amplified music and dancing.
All COVID Management Plans will be reviewed by SA Health and the assessment process may involve site visits and inspections.
If there is an increase in community transmission of COVID-19, existing COVID Management Plans may be reviewed to ensure activities are still safe to proceed.
In the event of a widespread outbreak, approval for COVID Management Plans may need to be revoked.
