Hockey: The New Protocol – Sports

As announced in the final days of our newspaper by Dr. Angelo Pizzi, Fisr published version 7 of the Rink Hockey competition protocol on January 4th, which, like its predecessors, was drafted by a sports doctor from Viareggio. Introducing various innovations. We start with transportation in which, even if private, Ffp2 masks must be worn and changed every 6 hours. The same masks must be worn by all persons over 12 years of age inside facilities (including changing rooms) with a capacity of less than 35% with 1 meter spacing confirmed. In practice, it would not be possible for anyone (and thus also the public and media personnel) to gain access to a system with masks other than Ffp2.

Limited exceptions are made only for youth matches with athletes under the age of 12. Obviously, even before the type of mask, it is emphasized that to access any area of ​​the systems it will be necessary to have the so-called “enhanced green corridor”.

The ban on consuming food and drinks in gyms and gyms has also returned. As for tampons, they are again mandatory in the A1, A2 and Women’s Series tournaments. All persons registered on the score sheet (players, coaches, referees, referees at the official match table) in the 48 hours preceding the match must be in control. Swabs must be performed by anyone with the necessary training, under the responsibility of the company’s legal representative. In the event of a negative result, everything goes according to the protocol; In the event of a positive result, the people involved will have to self-isolate and undergo the tests required by public health. For friendly matches, in which there is no reserve clause, no referees will be appointed and everything will happen under the responsibility of the organizing company.
