Coaches will screen individuals on a daily basis prior to participation in any club activities.

How will you control the risk of transmission in your workplace?

Moore Skating Club will coordinate with the Mooretown Sports Complex in order to ensure compliance with these Protocols. This includes at minimum:

Implementing effective measures to manage the flow of traffic in and out of the facility

Ensuring that any person who enters or uses the facility maintains a physical distance of at least 2m from any other person who is using the facility unless they are from the same household or they are authorized in Step 3 of Ontario's COVID-19 Roadmap to Reopen to be closer than two metres from each other

Wiping down / sanitizing high touch areas such as entry / exit doors to the ice, etc.

Facilitating compliance by the facility operator with the advice, recommendations and instructions of public health officials, including any advice, recommendations or instructions on physical distancing, cleaning or disinfecting

Additionally, individuals must follow Provincial and local public health guidelines with respect to wearing masks and face coverings within indoor facilities. Coaches are required to follow all provincial and facility regulations with respect to wearing a mask or face covering when in an indoor facility. Coaches are permitted to temporarily remove their mask or face covering when engaged in athletic or fitness activity. (i.e. leading an off-ice fitness class). Skaters are required to follow all provincial and facility regulations with respect to wearing a mask or face covering when in an indoor facility. Skaters are permitted to temporarily remove their mask or face covering when engaged in athletic or fitness activity.

Individuals should wash / sanitize hands upon entry to the facility.

What will you do if there is a potential case, or suspected exposure to, COVID-19 at your workplace?

If an individual becomes unwell with symptoms of COVID-19, or if someone is aware of an individual that becomes unwell with symptoms of COVID-19, that individual must immediately stop participation in club or skating school activities. The individual should be isolated from all others in a well-ventilated area, or outside and provided with a mask or face covering if one is available. The individual shall be sent home and instructed to follow public health guidelines regarding self-isolation and testing. The facility should be informed in order to determine if any areas need to be closed off and/or require additional cleaning/disinfecting. A member of the COVID-19 Oversight Group should be informed of the situation and should contact the individual or their parent/guardian to determine if next steps are being taken regarding testing.

How will you manage any new risks caused by changes to the way you operate your business?
