INTRODUCTION This Bio-Bubble Dos and Don’ts explains how participants should adapt their conduct during the Lions Tour of South Africa. Players, coaches and support staff must, at all times, comply with the relevant advice and instruction from their government and/or local health authorities and the World Health Organisation (WHO) regarding Covid-19. Anywhere the teams go – whether in transit to training venues, or the hotel – will be treated like a ‘Rolling Red Zone’ and will function like the matchday ‘Red Zone’. The interaction will be restricted and anyone likely to come into contact with the teams will be required to follow certain testing procedures.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

What is the MyPass app? MyPass is designed in order for each participant attending the event (either an accredited member or a spectator) to easily complete their Covid-19 daily screening questionnaire, add rapid diagnostic tests (PCR Antigen and vaccination) information to their profiles. This process will, however, not be applicable to players. Each team doctor will be responsible for managing the team’s daily symptom checks and report back to the Covid Compliance members of the Tour. The MyPass system integrates each team member’s Covid-19 test results to that of the individual’s accreditation pass. Example: If a player has a positive Covid-19 test result, that player’s accreditation pass will be deactivated to avoid him gaining access to certain areas.

Castle Lager Lions Series 2021

What must I do if I have any flu-like symptoms? All players and staff will do daily symptom checks with their team doctor.

Castle Lager Lions Series 2021

Will I be able to hand in laundry at my hotel? Yes. Laundry at each hotel includes training and playing kit, limited to the provisions made in the Tours Agreement and Tour Manual of up to 10 items per day. All other laundry requirements are for the user’s or the team’s own account.

Castle Lager Lions Series 2021

What happens when I need to see a medical professional who is not available? Your team doctor will assess the situation with the designated Covid-19 compliance officer. If there is a requirement for medical services, the appointed Tour doctor will be contacted to arrange/implement the necessary next steps and protocols with the standby medical service provider.

Castle Lager Lions Series 2021

What personal protective equipment (PPE) must I use? At a minimum, a cloth mask, otherwise N95 or equivalent, or triple-layer medical masks. Masks are to be worn at all times, other than when training, playing matches or eating.

Castle Lager Lions Series 2021

What is the match venue access requirement? Before leaving their accommodation to go to a match venue, the team doctor must confirm on the MyPass system whether any team member has or exhibits any symptoms of Covid-19. If any symptoms are exhibited on the symptom checklist or if for any reason Covid-19 is suspected, the player or staff member must remain in their hotel room and report immediately to their team doctor. All players and staff members must have a temperature check undertaken before entering the match venue (a temperature of 37.5°C or above is used as the threshold for a suspected case). All players and support staff members must also have undertaken a PCR or Rapid Antigen test and have returned a negative result before being granted access to enter the match venue.

MAX THRESHOLD 37.5 °C

Castle Lager Lions Series 2021

What happens on match day? The entrance point will be staffed by match venue personnel who have been approved by SA Rugby Event Services (SARES) to administer entry assessments. A member of the match venue’s security team will also be present in the area.

ENTRANCE

Castle Lager Lions Series 2021

What happens on a non-match day? The team that is within the Red Zone bio-bubble will have a pre-determined schedule for the day. It will be decided upon by the team management and approved by MAG – subject to Covid-19 protocol. Movement of personnel and players will be limited to within the Red Zone.

Castle Lager Lions Series 2021

What happens during a training session or captain’s run? The appropriate cleaning and sanitisation will take place before and after, with match venue zoning measures in place to protect participating teams during their visits to the venue.

Castle Lager Lions Series 2021

What is the testing protocol? All team doctors will return a summary of test results as soon as they are received (whether positive, negative or unclear), and must return a negative result (whether PCR or Rapid Antigen test) to be allowed entry to match-day venues.

All testing will be done on the day before a match

PERIOD OF COVER Each participating team will send their pre-Tour training/camp assembly plans to SARES for review and agree a commencement date. This Code of Conduct will come into practice from that date right through to the end of the teams’ participation in the Tour. It will apply when individuals are in camp – i.e. Red Zone bio-bubble.

Castle Lager Lions Series 2021

BREACHES In the event of a breach of any of the items listed, by an individual, the participating team to which that person is affiliated, could in the first instance deal with the breach. Regardless of any participating team’s decision to deal or not with a breach, SA Rugby/Lions may separately consider a situation where it believes a player, coach or other participating team personnel may have breached the protocol and may decide to impose a fine to the participating team as a result.
