Please note:
- These unique environments are mostly enclosed places with minimal airflow and high levels of humidity. They contain multiple surfaces where dust and other airborne matter can easily settle. By their nature, they also make the important task of cleaning and sanitising related infrastructure (such as handrails) much more difficult.
- The close physical interactions that are required for recreational caving (in 'wild caves') means that the application of the standard precautions recommended to manage the risk of COVID-19 transmission cannot be applied.
- For these reasons, NPWS developed a strategy for the reopening of caves which was based on an assessment of risk.
- Options for allowing access to wild caves by speleological groups operating under a COVID Safety Plan are also being assessed.
- Approval for access to caves for critical maintenance and/or research purposes is considered on a case-by-case basis.
