Health protocol in the padel

What is health protocol for the padel ? The FFT has implemented a document to respond to clubs and players facing COVID-19.

Operational and health protocol in the event of a suspected COVID-19

Anyone presenting the symptoms identified as being able to reveal contamination of COVID-19 will have to:

1. If he has not yet arrived on the site and has not yet started the competition:
• Stay away from the site;
• Consult your attending physician;
• Report your situation to the club's COVID-19 referent;

2. If he has already arrived / visited the site and started the competition:
• Leave the club and go into isolation immediately;
 Notify the COVID-19 referent of the club;
• Consult your attending physician;
• List the people with whom he has been in contact (more than 15 minutes to less than 1 meter).
In both cases, the tournament organizers must:
1. Ensure the isolation of the person;
2. Notify the Regional Health Agency (ARS) and the CPAM;
3. Facilitate the identification by these authorities of contact cases;
4. Agree with the ARS on the arrangements to be made, having regard to the specificities of the situation, regarding the continuation of the competition and the protection of the participants.
5.Inform the COVID box by email: covid-19@fft.fr

Definition of a contact case

A contact case can occur in the absence of effective protective measures throughout the duration of the contact:
- mask
- hygiaphone or other physical separation (glass)
A distinction should be made between "Contacts at risk" and "Contacts at negligible risk".

1- A '' Contact at risk '' is a person:

 Having shared the same place of life as the confirmed or probable case;
 Having had direct contact with a case, face to face, within 1 meter, regardless of the duration (eg conversation, meal, flirtation, hugs, hugs). On the other hand, people crossed in the public space in a fleeting manner are not considered as risk contacts;
 Having provided or received acts of hygiene or care;
 Having shared a confined space (office or meeting room, personal vehicle, etc.) for at least 15 minutes with a case or having remained face to face with a case during several episodes of coughing or sneezing;  Being a student or teacher from the same school class (nursery, primary, secondary, tutorial group at the university).

2- A "Contact at negligible risk" is a person:

 Situations other than those above, for a person having had occasional contact with a confirmed case during frequentation of public places, etc…
