COVID-19 Health and Safety Guidelines
Signs are posted at all of our tennis courts with the following information.
| Before you play |
|
Play only with family members, persons living in your household or individuals considered to be low risk.
Do not play if you or your playing partner:
- Exhibit any coronavirus symptoms, such as a fever, cough and/or difficulty breathing. Other symptoms may include muscle aches, sore throat, fatigue, runny nose or diarrhea.
- Have been in contact with someone with COVID-19 in the last 14 days.
- Are considered vulnerable or at risk (elderly individuals, immunosuppressed persons, individuals suffering from serious health problems, notably high blood pressure, pulmonary diseases, diabetes, obesity and asthma).
|
| Preparing to play |
|
Protect yourself against infections:
- Wash your hands with soap and water for at least 20 seconds before going to a tennis court.
- Bring your own hand sanitizer.
- Clean your equipment, including your racquets and water bottles.
- Do not share equipment with your playing partner.
- Make sure you have enough water before leaving the house to avoid having to touch a tap or water fountain handle.
- Consider wearing a mask or gloves while playing.
- Avoid touching door handles, gates, benches and all other objects where the virus could survive. If you touch something, make sure to wash your hands and disinfect the surface you have touched.
|
| While playing |
- As much as possible, keep a two metre distance from other players. To respect this measure, we strongly suggest only playing singles.
- Wear a face mask or covering if you cannot physical distance, such as when traveling on and off the court or when interacting with other groups of people playing the court before and after you.
- Avoid all physical contact, for example shaking hands, with other players.
- Avoid touching your face after manipulating a ball, racquet or when you hit the ball to another player.
- Stay on your side of the court.
- Because it is still unknown if the virus can live on a tennis ball, use two cans of balls with distinct numbers or identify your balls with a marker in order to be able to differentiate them and only handle the balls that are yours.
- Avoid sharing food, drinks and towels.
- As much as possible, use your racquet and your foot to pick up the balls or to send a ball to another player.
|
| After playing |
- Wash your hands carefully with soap and water or with hand sanitizer.
- Leave the court immediately after you finish playing.
