Further limitations imposed on travels and considerations on diving activities
Everyone is aware of the current crisis and we at DAN are certain that our members will be at the forefront in preventing the spread of disease. It is our obligation to stay safe not just because any risky behaviour will be considered negligence and so compromises our chances of being assisted, but also as leaders in health and safety we should lead by example.
The current coronavirus pandemic has rendered moving individuals from one country to another, even for medical reasons, much more difficult because of the absence of flights other than those organised by governments to repatriate their still healthy citizens. It is very likely that ill individuals will have to be treated in situ, irrespective of availability or otherwise of facilities including diver treatment centres.
Our recommendation to all DAN Members is to not expose themselves to unnecessary risk in this particular time. This includes limiting or refraining from diving activities, because of the increasing unavailability of appropriate treatment facilities should DCI occur. Members must take advantage of any opportunity to return home as soon as such an opportunity presents itself, rather than risking to remain trapped in a foreign country for possibly several weeks.
Please remember that it’s of utmost importance to keep yourself informed of the current instructions issued by your country of residence, and those of the country where you currently are, and strictly follow them.
