Hockey Ireland – Covid-19 Guidelines Update 28th October 2021
The Irish government and Sport Ireland have issued a further update to the Covid-19 guidelines for sport in the Republic of Ireland from 22nd October 2021.
Guidelines for Ulster clubs can be found here: COVID Guidance Sept 2021 – Ulster Hockey
According to Sport Ireland, it is likely that the current set of guidelines will remain in place until at least February 2022.
The main points of the update are below:
Spectator Capacities:
- For outdoor venues, capacity limits in relation to Covid-19 have been removed and there is no longer a requirement to check for Covid-19 vaccination certifications.
- For indoor venues, spectators must have Covid-19 vaccination certifications, and these should be checked by the hosting body prior to entry. Indoor spectators should be seated.
Indoor Training Guidance:
- Where indoor training groups are of mixed immunity, pods of 6 are allowed (excluding a coach/trainer). Individual pods should be well spaced apart from others.
- Where indoor training groups are fully vaccinated for Covid-19, no fixed capacity limits apply.
Apart from the above, all guidance from our previous Covid-19 update from 22nd September 2021 is applicable
