Coronavirus update - 19th January  2022

Last Friday the First Minister Mark Drakeford outlined a timeline for returning Wales to ‘Alert Level 0’ by Friday 11th February.  
 
Tennis Wales have updated our ‘Return to Play Guidance’ to reflect the changes that came into effect on Saturday 15th January. We will update our guidance periodically over the next few weeks to reflect the further easing process. All relaxations are subject to the continuing positive trend of COVID-19 cases downwards.
 
Here is a summary of changes: 
•    From Saturday 14th January, outdoor tennis activities and events can take place with up to 500 participants and 500 spectators.
•    From Friday 21st January, there will be no restriction on the number of people attending outdoor tennis activity.
•    From Friday 28th January, indoor tennis activities and events can take place without any restriction on number of people attending. The rule of six and 2 metre social distancing requirements for hospitality will also be removed.
•    The requirement to work from home will no longer be a legal requirement from the 28th January also.
•    Friday 11th February all remaining restrictions will be removed to move Wales fully to Alert Level 0.
 
For the avoidance of doubt, organised indoor tennis activities must remain within a 30-person group limit until Friday 28th January. Multiple discreet groups are allowed, please see our guidance for more information.
 
We have also updated our guidance to reflect the recent changes to self-solation and testing protocols in Wales: 
•    You can end self-isolation after 7 full days if on day 6 and on day 7 (at least 24 hours later) you record a negative Lateral Flow Test result from both tests.
•    If you are asymptomatic and test positive for Covid-19 via a Lateral Flow Test, you are no longer required to take a confirmatory PCR test. You MUST report your result and self-isolate immediately. You can finish isolation after 7 full days if you have two negative test results on day 6 and 7 (at least 24 hours later).
As ever throughout the pandemic, tennis venues, coaches and competition organisers/referees are required to keep up to date COVID-19 risk assessments for all their activities and facilities.
