EV/DEVO COVID SAFETY PLAN

Updated January 2021.

​

We are currently following the latest PHO and viaSport rules.

​

Our club is committed to safe and responsible riding. All members must adhere to the following guidelines:

​

BEFORE ATTENDING A CYCLING PRACTICE/ RIDE all participants, coaches and their parents/guardians will:

 

  • Know how COVID-19 spreads.

  • Know the symptoms of COVID-19.

  • MEMBERS WILL NOT attend practice if sick or if they have been contact traced by public health or suspect COVID exposure. If a coach or rider has been sick, they must be symptom free and have quarantine clearance from public health in order to return to practices/rides.

  • EV/DEVO requires that anyone who has been diagnosed with COVID-19 wait for the appropriate PHO Clearance before they return to practices/rides.

  • Anyone who has travelled domestically or travelled beyond their own community must monitor for symptoms of COVID-19.

  • Registration for practices or rides is required. Team Snap tracking must be filled in 48hrs before each practice

  • Complete COVID-19 screening in TeamSnap before each practice/session.

 

UPON ARRIVAL AT RIDES or TRAINING:

 

  • Riders will be required to confirm that they have completed the daily COVID-19 screening and can confirm they have no symptoms before arriving at any organized ride or practice.

  • Meet with your coach/rider leader in the designated meeting area for the practice.

​

DURING PRACTICES/RIDES or TRAINING:

​

  • Maintain reasonable distance apart from each other at all times, unless it is unsafe to do so.

  • All riders must carry their own face mask or face covering, and hand sanitizer.

  • No drop-ins are permitted. Anyone who is riding with the club must be registered as a club member and have CBC membership too.
