Inline Hockey Ireland has put together this document to give clear instructions to teams and players on how game days will operate in the Republic of Ireland in light of the Covid-19 situation. We are committed to a safe continuation of competitive inline hockey and believe the procedures outlined will help ensure any risks are minimised. It is imperative that all comply and take responsibility to maintain hygiene and social distance where applicable. Any teams that fail to comply with the procedures will be disciplined accordingly.
Self Isolation/Symptoms
Persons must not attend if:
If a team is heavily affected by Covid-19, potential contacts or local lockdowns allowances will be in place to postpone games.
All persons should monitor any symptoms up to 7 days after the game day.
Entry Requirements
There are currently no immunity entry requirements for indoor sports events in Republic of Ireland.
Antigen Test/Laterflow Test
We are encouraging all attendees, even if fully vaccinated, to undertake an antigen test/laterflow test the morning of or the evening before a game day. Rapid Lateral flow tests provide a result within 30 minutes at home.
If a person returns a positive result they must not attend the game day and should seek a PCR test and self-isolate as necessary.
Team Lists
Team managers are responsible for ensuring that team lists are up-to-date and attendance accurately recorded. These will serve as contact tracing for team staff & players.
Spectators
Competition in the interim will be returning to behind closed doors i.e. no spectators. One parent or guardian per underage player will be permitted to attend.
People allowed to enter the venue:
Face Coverings
Face coverings are mandatory for anyone aged 13 or older and should be worn at all times (including while changing), except when playing;, unless you are eating/drinking, or exempt.
Be Distance Aware
We ask that you are respectful of others around and keep your distance from other people as you move through the venue. Whilst the requirement for social distancing has been removed whilst playing & spectating, distancing is still required in certain areas around the venue, including at toilets.
Sanitisation and Cleaning
We ask that you sanitise your hands on arrival and regularly wash and sanitise your hands throughout your visit. The Rink will have enhanced cleaning before and after game days and additional cleaning during the event.
