Community and Business responsibilities: COVID-Safe Plan
Community Services and Businesses that were previously directed to close and now reopened must complete a COVID-Safe Plan before they can reopen.
This Plan will outline how your staff and patrons can be kept safe from COVID-19. The plan must be completed and made available at your business premises. If your business was allowed to reopen during Step 1 of South Australia’s Roadmap to Recovery, you must complete a Plan.
If your committee or group has not completed the COVID-Safe Plan, or does not have the plan available at your premises when requested, you can be fined up to $5000 on the sport for non-compliance, or face prosecution.
