COVID-19
The WOMADelaide Foundation has conducted a comprehensive Covid-19 Risk Assessment for prevention, preparedness, response, and recovery. The event will be held in accordance with SA Health direction and we will provide updates as necessary via website, social media, and direct communication with ticket buyers.
By purchasing or accepting tickets, patrons acknowledge that, even with control measures in place at the event, there remains an unquantifiable risk of transmission of viral illness, including COVID-19. By attending, patrons acknowledge that they have considered those risks and their own personal circumstances, including any health condition or vulnerability that they may have, and the circumstances of persons with whom patrons may be in close contact following attendance to the event.
Patrons acknowledge that, for a small number of people, COVID-19 has very serious health consequences. We expressly rely on patrons to bring this health issue waiver to the attention of any guest(s) of the patron. The organisers will rely on this health issue waiver and proceed on the basis that all patrons acknowledge and accept these risks when attending the event.
It is a condition of entry for all patrons that they agree to follow our COVID-Safe protocols and agree to comply with the directions of event staff or security regarding any health directives contained in our COVID Management Plan, or issued by SA Health’s Chief Public Health Officer in regards to COVID-19. It is important that you also consider our full Conditions of Entry as detailed below.
There is an onus on personal responsibility for the health and wellbeing of everyone. If you feel vulnerable, talk to your doctor about what is appropriate for you. If you are seeking further information on COVID-19 visit health.gov.au or call the Australian Government Department of Health Coronavirus Information Line on 1800 020 080. This information line operates 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
