Please note, the Government Guidelines must be obeyed at all times, in particular those relating to travel, physical distancing and quarantining of those with symptoms. The latest guidelines are available at: https://www.gov.ie/en/campaigns/c36c85-covid-19-coronavirus/
Covid-19 Event Guidelines and Code of Conduct
To assist in us all being able to keep orienteering safely the IOA have developed a Participant Code of Conduct and Event Guidelines. You can view/download these documents below.
A Covid 19 Health Declaration and contact tracing details must be submitted for each event. This information can be gathered when you pre-enter the event. You need to ensure that your Covid-19 Health Declaration is still valid before you arrive at the event.
Covid 19 Declaration Forms for events
For events that do not use the IOA pre-entry system a sample form is available. Contact info@orienteering.ie
Sport Ireland have provided an online Covid19 Course for returning to Sport. https://www.sportireland.ie/covid19/course
