October 2021 - 80

COVID Protocols for National,
Regional and Sectional
Tournaments
Effective Sept. 3, 2021
Based upon the most recently received
guidance from the Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention (CDC), the following
mandatory policies will be in effect
until further notice:
1. Vaccination: All staff, players and
volunteers must be vaccinated with a
complete set of vaccinations completed
no less than 14 days before the date of
the event in which the player wishes to
purchase an entry (booster shots are not
included in this policy at this time). Unless
prohibited by law, each player must
provide proof of vaccination to the Event
Safety Coordinator or a member of their
staff. In areas or locations where requiring
proof of vaccination is prohibited by law,
the event sponsor must put in place other
precautions, such as mandatory rapid
COVID testing and/or mask requirements.
2. Mask Requirements: Per the ACBL
Board of Directors, anyone who has received
the required doses of a COVID-19
vaccine (under Health Canada, CDC, or
Mexico Ministry of Health guidelines) at
least 14 days prior to their attendance at
a bridge tournament may be required to
wear a mask at said tournament if Health
Canada, CDC, or Mexico Ministry of
Health guidelines recommend this. This
ACBL policy does not countermand any
ordinance or law in effect at the site of
the tournament, and is effective through
Dec. 31, 2021.
3. Hand Sanitizer: Hand sanitizer
must be readily available inside the playing
area.
4. Event Safety Coordinator: Each
tournament sponsor must provide a
designated Event Safety Coordinator,
who will be available to review proof of
vaccinations, etc.
Please note that all the above are
subject to change at any time. Please
check with the Tournament Chair for any
clarification or further information.
