On
7 April 2020, the Department of Social Development published amended
Regulations in Notice 455 in Government Gazette 43213, made under the
Disaster Management Act, relating to parents who have joint custody of
children.
Parents
who have joint custody of children are now allowed to transport the children
from one house to another during the lockdown period, but must adhere to the
following:
·
The parent transporting the child
must have the original court order, or at least a copy thereof, outlining the
existing joint custody responsibilities with them while travelling; and
·
The house of the parent where the
child will be transported to, must have no signs of anyone living in the house
with the COVID-19 virus or anyone that has been in contact with a person that
has the COVID-19 virus.
The
amendment came into effect on the date of publication of the Notice.
