If a person in safe area tests positive . . .

● Orlando Pirates midfielder Ben Motshwari is the only known case of a professional footballer contracting the virus.

The Premier Soccer League (PSL) has announced steps to be followed for any player becoming infected with Covid-19 in a biologically safe environment.

1. Should any individual test positive for Covid-19, immediate individual isolation must occur ...

● The individual must then be isolated in an unoccupied section of the hotel. The PSL chief medical officer and the league must be informed accordingly. The medical staff/testing facility must inform the National Institute for Communicable Diseases.

● The individual’s previous room must be thoroughly disinfected and must be off limits until completion of the match programme.

● The individual will not participate further in any training sessions, and must be monitored by the medical staff daily.

● All contacts — this will include other team players, hotel staff, team support staff — must quarantine in their rooms for 14 days of monitoring for symptoms of Covid-19 and be tested.

2. Once symptoms resolve, the positive tested individual would require two consecutive Covid-19 tests spaced 48 hours apart so he/she may discontinue isolation. 3. Non-symptomatic individuals may resume training after 14 days.

Guidelines governing travelling outside the safe environment:

1. This will be prohibited except in the following instances ...

● Urgent medical care;

● Training;

● Matches;

● Covid-19 testing.

2. Only delivery of essential items may be allowed — ie. kit, balls, equipment, medical supplies, hotel catering and supplies. These items will need to be sterilised upon arrival and before handling.

3. Any movement outside of these requirements will mean that the individuals will not be permitted to continue participating and will be precluded from the safe environment.

4. All transport must comply with the Disaster Management Act transport regulations.

In as far as cleaning is concerned, the plan commits to limit social distancing, cleaners will clean rooms every day when players are away for training. Toiletries will be changed then too. The league will ensure that cleaning is conducted and that all measures set out in this protocol are complied with.
