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.

  • J If players or staff have symptoms, please tell them to stay at home.

  • J Keep your hands clean. Wash your hands oſten with soap and water for at least 20 seconds. If soap and water are not available, use alcohol-based sanitizer.

  • J Avoid touching your eyes, nose and mouth.

  • J Cough or sneeze into the bend of your arm.

  • J Avoid touching surfaces people touch oſten, such as:

    • ◦ Toilets and sinks

    • ◦ Door handles

    • ◦ Bar and bar tables

    • ◦ Stone handles (except your 2 stones in your game)
