Our County Board & Our Club have been advised to communicate the following very important information to our supporters and to everyone intending to come to our grounds to matches in the coming weeks:
We would ask that you share this message on any social media outlets you have.
Spectators should be aware that all the risks posed from Covid-19 cannot be eliminated, including attending GAA games but that essential control measures have been put in place to reduce risks for members.
- Spectators must not attend games if they display any symptoms of Covid-19 and instead should phone their GP and follow public health advice
- Individuals that are considered high risk or are in close contact with others who are considered high risk should not attend games (click here)
- Spectators must note that much of the responsibility for managing Covid-19 risk remains with yourself particularly in relation to social distancing, wearing of face coverings and sanitation
- We advise all spectators to bring your own hand sanitiser
- The use of face coverings is strongly advised for all patrons over the age of 13
- Spectators must not enter the field of play at any time including pre-match, at half-time and other intervals and after the final whistle or at end-of-match presentations
- Spectators have to keep to keep their own record of contacts at a match for potential tracing purposes
- All spectators should be encouraged to download the HSE tracing app (click here)
Social Distancing
- The current public health guidance advises a social distance of 2m be maintained between people. Further government guidance may change and the GAA’s assessment method may change as a result.
- Where small groups of people are attending games, members of these should wherever possible be from the same household.
- Individuals and small groups should remain insofar as possible in the same area for the duration of the game, remain 2m apart and avoid intermingling with other individuals or groups
- We ask you all to practice and maintain social distancing
- Before, between and after games it is essential that spectators do not congregate in groups in the vicinity of the grounds as social distancing and contact tracing measures will be compromised and the potential risk of transmission higher
Contact Tracing
- We ask all our spectators attending any of our games to restrict contact with individuals and groups outside their own household once inside the ground.
