SPASAVIC has again written to the Hon. Jenny Mikakos, Minister for Health, Minister for the Coordination of Health and Human Services:COVID-19, regarding cryptosporidium and other known pathogens that can potentially develop in untreated bodies of water.
SPASAVIC has requested urgent re-consideration of the restrictions imposed on our pool and spa service technician members under Stage 4 and has urged government to re-classify those in the swimming pool and spa industry as 'essential'.
With Victorians spending more time at home than ever before, backyard pools and spas are being utilised on a daily basis, meaning that water maintenance and hygiene is of critical importance.
SPASAVIC awaits advice of our requested exemption from government and we will keep members informed once a response has been received.
