As of April 28, 2020.
Here’s some advice on what to do when allowed to reopen sports facilities. It’s quite general, information for coaches of all Olympic sports.
USOPC Return to Training Considerations Post COVID-19
Phase 3:
- small groups allowed to train. But no general public access.
- athletes, coaches, and staff have NO symptoms of COVID-19 (Appendix 2) in the past 14 days
- anyone who had a case of documented COVID-19 infection needs a note from their doctor indicating they are cleared to participate in training
- ideally participants should have 2 negative COVID-19 tests separated by 24 hours before resuming training
- athletes record signs and symptoms (including temperature) on a paper or electronic log that is monitored by coaches or staff
- athletes interviewed each time on arrival for symptoms
- athletes should use their own equipment and avoid touching each other as much as possible
- Use own water bottle, towel, personal hygiene products, etc.
- Rigorous, frequent cleaning schedule/protocol of equipment with disinfectant before, during, and after training
- cleaners wear appropriate personal protective equipment (e.g., gloves, face mask, etc.) to prevent contact with contaminated surfaces and protect against toxicities associated with cleaning products
- coaches maintain physical distance from athletes, as much as possible. No spotting, if possible.
Phase 4 would be return to normal training.
