Dear SPR-member,

Since January 25th 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

• The Sportsbar is open until a maximum of 10:00 pm.
  
• There is a corona admission ticket requirement when third parties enter the Sportscentrum. (E.g. competition matches)
  
• For rules regarding mouth masks, the 1.5 meters distance rule, and all other catering rules see:

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

• If you test positive: stay home and avoid contact with others, even if they have been vaccinated.

• Make sure there is enough fresh air and ventilation in indoor areas
