Dear sporter,
Since yesterday evening new relaxations have been communicated from the government. This message summarizes what it means for athletes and clubs immediately:
Sport
- All indoor and outdoor sports activities are allowed again, including competition sports.
- The Sports Center is open again according to regular opening hours.
- Corona admission ticket: Because we have indoor sports buildings with mixed use of education and sports, a QR code needs to be checked when used by external people. This means that QR codes will be scanned on Wednesday and Friday evenings after 6 pm and on Saturday and Sunday in the Sports Centre (including the tennis bladder halls) and the WAS at Zernike. In case of use by outsiders at outdoor sports venues, a corona access card is required when using indoor facilities. For example in canteens, locker rooms or toilets.
- Even with a Corona access card, mouth guards remain in effect
- Dressing rooms and showers in the Sports Center are open again. Where possible shower and change clothes at home, due to limited space due to the 1.5m distance rule.
- If it is necessary for the practice of sport, keeping 1.5 meters distance is not mandatory. Do keep 1.5m distance outside of sports.
- Also, keep the the basic rules in mind to prevent the spread of the coronavirus.
- Crowd at competitions are allowed between 05:00 and 22:00. However, the public must maintain a fixed place at 1.5 meters distance from each other. For indoor sports, a fixed seating area applies; for outdoor sports, fixed standing areas can also be used.
Horeca
Clubhouses
- The clubhouses are open until a maximum of 10:00 pm.
- There is a corona admission ticket requirement when third parties enter the clubhouses. (E.g. competition matches)
- Clubs can choose whether or not to ask for a corona admission ticket when entering the clubhouses for their own club activities without external visitors,
- For rules regarding mouth masks, the 1.5 meters distance rule, and all other catering rules see:
Sportsbar
- The same rules as for the clubhouses also apply to the sports bar.
Basic Rules
The following basic rules apply:
- Wash your hands often and thoroughly.
- Give each other as much space as possible. 1.5 meters remains a safe distance
- Stay at home with (mild) symptoms and get tested immediately by the GGD. Even if you have already been vaccinated!
- If you test positive: stay home and avoid contact with others, even if they have been vaccinated.
- Cough and sneeze into your elbow
- Make sure there is enough fresh air and ventilation in indoor areas
Face masks at sports venues
Indoor
- Facemasks are required to be worn indoors. During sports activities the mouth caps may be removed.
Outside
- Everywhere where it is not possible to keep 1.5 meters distance before and after sports, it is advised to wear a mouth cap. During sports, no mouthguards need to be worn.
Type of mouth mask
- It is recommended that a medical facemasks of at least type II-R be worn.
Student access control support
The new regulations surrounding the scanning of QR codes at educational locations will go into effect on Friday evening, January 28 after 6:00 pm. To make sure everything runs smoothly, the ACLO and the Sports Centre have a pool of students who will provide support. This involves scanning QR codes at the entrance and is done for a fee. We ask the boards of the clubs to make an inventory whether there are people who want to support us in this. Members and other athletes can sign up via these Google Forms!
Finally:
On March 8, the situation will be reassessed by the government and the current measures may be adjusted. We will keep you well informed and hope of course that student sports can expect further relaxations. In part, we can influence this ourselves by adhering to the measures in place.
Questions from clubs regarding the regular schedule or competition use can be asked via sportreserveringen@rug.nl.
Best regards,
The 76th Executive Board of the ACLO & Management of the Sports Center
