COVID-19 bulletin and instructions for safe and responsible behavior

General Information
This Covid-19 Bulletin has been developed to protect competitors, team members, organizers and officials from becoming infected by the Covid-19 virus. Many of them are probably not yet vaccinated and therefore in higher risk of being infected than many other groups. There is also an increased risk due to new, and more contagious variants of the virus becoming prevalent and caution is therefore needed. As vaccinated persons can spread the disease, the rules need to apply to all persons in contact with competitors and team members.
All regulations stated in this Covid-19 Bulletin are valid for the participants during the duration of the whole event.

Personal responsibility

• We want to stress to both organizers and every participant their personal responsibility, which is a key element of mutual success.
• Reduce your social contacts to an absolute minimum. Avoid all places with a higher risk of infection. Act and take care responsibly.

• If anyone starts to feel sick, especially with the symptoms of Covid-19 disease such as fever, loss of smell or taste, cough, fatigue, headache, sore throat, cold or runny nose, shortness of breath, diarrhea, or unexplained loss of appetite, he/she is obligated immediately to seek medical help, notify his/her team leader and representative of the organizing committee
• The affected person, and any roommate, shall immediately self-isolate. Notifications to other team members should be made.
• If diagnosed with Covid-19, specific steps may come in action affecting more than just the infected person, such as contact tracing and the quarantining of persons who have been in close contact.

Daily life

• Keep social distance, at least 2 meters.
• Face mask off only during competitions, drinking/eating. Masks have a limited re-use. Dispose of them frequently.
• Wash hands frequently using soap (from the dispenser) and use sanitizer/disinfectant.
• Personal responsibility is expected from all participants!

Dining

• Face mask off only during your meal/drinking.
• We truly recommend spending as little time as possible in the shared dining rooms.

Ceremonies

• we recommend participants to wear a face mask.
• Sportsmen may be able to briefly take off masks on the podium, for example for national anthem and podium photos.

Team leaders are asked to carefully and thoroughly make acquaint all participants in their teams (competitors, officials, members of the Jury, visitors, etc.) with the following instructions for safe and responsible behavior, as well as to monitor its implementation.
