Paper towels and liquid soaps must be provided in all bathrooms to replace hand soap bars and ventilation hand-dryers.

Organizers must provide sufficient hand sanitizers (hand-gel or similar based solutions as per WHO requirements) at all official venues, transportation hubs, and official hotels,

Offices and rooms in all official locations must be well ventilated. Air conditioning units may require special filters.

Athletes must use personal water bottles, refilled from no-touch water-outlets. Water bottles must not be shared

Masks / Face-Nose Protection

Masks / Face-Nose Protection

Every accredited person MUST wear a mask/mouth-face nose protection at all times in official event locations including:

 

•           Main Venue

•           On official transportation

•           At official hotels except when eating.

 

General exceptions to wearing a mask/mouth-face nose protection are outlined in sport-specific appendices.

When not worn the mask must be kept in a separate container/bag (e.g. sandwich “Ziploc” bag) to prevent contamination. Disposable masks must be regularly changed and multi-use masks washed after regular use.

If necessary Organizing Committee will provide a disposable mask (free of charge) to each accredited person (i.e. 2 masks/day)

Physical Distancing

Physical Distancing

The physical distance of 1.5 meters minimum must be respected at all times (except when training and during competition).

Signage to indicate safe physical distancing at points of entry should be installed, as well as plexiglass barriers and or floor markings to show the flow of traffic to respect physical distancing.
