SACRA and its members remain committed to business continuity while also protecting the health and wellbeing of participants, employees, client partners and communities in which we live and work.
The situation is evolving, and all member companies within South Africa are advised to continue to take steps to mitigate the risk.
SACRA understands that many companies in South Africa are governed by their international principles and would be implementing their own contingency plans.
This business continuity plan (BCP) offers suggested local guidance for those groups who may not have such input.
The different Ethics Committees and Regulatory authorities are publishing local guidance for the applicants and
research sites.
Continue to follow the guidance provided.
We shall be sharing some of these going forward.
