Curlers (members / renters / casual users), staff and management should be made aware of your return-to-play guidelines and the role they need to play allowing them to come back to the rink when you can re-open under government-mandated conditions.
While some of this advice is “old news”, it doesn’t hurt to keep sharing. See Appendix #1 for a one-page handout to share with curlers and staff, and post in-house in prominent locations.
Note: We recommend that curling centres follow the General Safety & Cleanliness Guidelines even if they are allowed to reopen without restrictions (such as physical distancing).
Hygiene
-
J All members, renters or those trying curling for the frst time must sign a Declaration of Compliance plus a Waiver (signed by adults) or Assumption of Risk Form (signed by adults on behalf of minors). Note: weekly renters (based on your defnition) should be given access to regular play if possible. See Appendix 2 & 3.

(A) CLEANING PROTOCOL
-
J Undertake a full building clean prior to start up. Consult with your cleaning company or local authority.
-
J Your ad hoc committee should address where your high-touch surfaces might be. Then develop a plan to keep them clean based on traffic, frequency etc. The main entrance is an example. Keep a log of the cleaning activity.
-
J Provide your cleaning staff the necessary facilities and cleaning products to maintain a clean and safe workplace.
