COVID-19 Safety Plan for Cairn Curran Sailing Club

​Hygiene & Behaviour Requirements

CCSC asks that all members, visitors, and the general public to get tested if you are feeling unwell and have any symptoms of COVID-19, no matter how mild, you should get tested for the health and wellbeing of our community.

The symptoms to watch out for are
  • Headache
  • Fever
  • Chills or sweats
  • Cough
  • Sore throat
  • Shortness of breath
  • Runny nose
  • Loss of sense of smell or taste
In certain circumstances headache, muscle soreness, stuffy nose, nausea, vomiting and diarrhea may also be considered. Diagnosing coronavirus (COVID-19) early, even when symptoms are mild, will help us to slow the spread.
Getting tested also means that you can take informed action to protect yourself, your loved ones, and the community. You will be doing your bit to protect all Victorians.

What we all need to keep doing

  • Practice good hygiene
  • Maintain physical distancing, keep at least 1.5 metres away from others
  • Wear a mask or face covering when you are indoor, or outdoors but unable to social distance.
  • Understand the risk and symptoms
  • Help continue to slow the spread of COVID-19 by getting tested, even if you have mild symptoms
  • Stay home and avoid contact if you are feeling unwell
  • Take care wherever you go, assume others may be carrying the virus

CCSC advises all members, visitors, and contractors to be vigilant with hygiene measures including social distancing, and monitoring for symptoms of COVID-19, specifically fever and acute respiratory illness.

We ask that you remain home when unwell, and to observe any self-quarantine requirements. 
​We also encourage you to visit your nearest testing centre.
​
CCSC is committed to limiting the spread of COVID-19 and will continue to implement COVID safe practices were necessary to reduce the risk of transmission.

The following guidelines provide additional hygiene practices and behaviours that should be considered as sailing and training returns:
  • Eliminate sharing drink bottles, towels, and limit the shared use of equipment. Equipment that touches the head of face or cannot be effectively cleaned (for example, if made from soft materials or clothing) should not be shared.
  • Where sharing of equipment cannot be avoided, equipment with smooth surfaces should be cleaned between sessions, lifejackets, winch handles, beach trolleys, etc.
  • We recommend that members download the Australian Government COVID-19 contact tracing app (COVIDSafe).
  • Arrive dressed and ready to sail. Limit the use of communal facilities except for toilets. If possible shower at home instead of at the club.
  • Participants should maintain social distancing, at least 1.5m distance apart.
  • Any tasks that can be done at home, should be done at home (e.g. debriefing, online meetings).
  • Protocols for people who present to sailing with symptoms consistent with COVID-19 (fever or respiratory symptoms such as cough, sore throat and shortness of breath).
  • In an environment of community transmission of COVID-19, any individual with respiratory symptoms (cough, sore throat, fever or shortness of breath), even if mild, should be considered a possible case of COVID-19.
  • Anyone who is unwell should be isolated and referred to a doctor in accordance with local Public Health Authority guidelines.
  • Any gatherings will maintain the social distancing protocols in accordance with DHHS recommendations.
  • All protocol should be taken to ensure participants are free of coronavirus (COVID-19) symptoms. Community sailing members, staff, volunteers, officials, spectators and parents should not return to sport if in the last 14 days they have been unwell or had close contact with a known or suspected case of COVID-19.
  • A participant with a possible case of COVID-19 should refrain from training (even at home) until they have been cleared to do so by a doctor.
