24th May 2021: Changes to Return to Training Protocol in Northern Ireland
From today, 24th May, there is a significant easing of training restrictions for Triathlon Ireland Clubs and Members in Northern Ireland.
The Return to Training Protocol for NI has been updated to reflect the changes, and clubs and members should use this document for guidance.
What has changed?
From the 24TH of May, indoor group exercise and training (numbers informed by venue) can resume as well as a full return of outdoor sport. For outdoor sporting events the maximum number of participants, including coaches and support staff, will be limited to 500 people and the maximum number of spectators will be limited to 500 people.
All outdoor and indoor sport and leisure venues (including changing rooms, showers and shared facilities) will also be permitted to open.
While caps have been removed on overall numbers, clubs will need to risk assess to ensure the numbers at sessions are safe and appropriate for social distancing to be maintained. It is also recommended to maintain the ‘pod system’ where possible in order to minimise contacts. All protective measures as outlined in the Return to Training Protocol for NI should be adhered to.
