FEI Policy for Enhanced Competition Safety during the Covid-19 Pandemic

RETURN TO PLAY UPDATES

FEI would like to draw your attention to recent updates to the FEI Policy for Enhanced Competition Safety during the Covid-19 Pandemic (”Covid-19 Policy”) as well as the publication of new discipline-specific guidelines in compliance with the FEI Covid-19 Policy.
  
FEI Policy for Enhanced Competition Safety during the Covid-19 Pandemic 
The main changes are found in Section V “Best Practice Recommendations for FEI Event Organisers” and can be summarised as follows:

Recommendation for OCs to provide instructions to follow by the different categories of persons who will attend the event in case they receive a SARS-CoV-2 positive test result, Covid-19 diagnosis or quarantine requirement notification. The aim of this new recommendation is to help the OC with Covid-19 related cancellations, entry screenings and follow up with the contact tracing authorities.

Recommendation to OCs that gatherings that are not absolutely essential to the event, such as parties, should be avoided (this helps reduce the overall Covid-19 transmission risk associated with the event).

Clarification of the consequences of the removal of a team member due to Covid-19.

Additional discipline-specific guidelines in compliance with the FEI Covid-19 Policy have now been published and can all be found on the FEI Covid-19 Return to Play hub:
