Currently there are no outbreaks; that is, evidence of transmission from person to person, within hockey teams in Grey Bruce.
At this time, the Public Health recommends play and practice be limited to only within Grey and Bruce Counties. Hockey teams/leagues from the red (control) level or grey (lockdown) should not be playing with teams in Grey and Bruce Counties. As such, facilities should not be providing rentals to teams from those areas that prohibit team sports.
Public Health recommends limiting travel for only essential reasons, such as work, school or for medical reasons. Recreational, non-medical, social or leisure related reasons for travel would not be considered essential and are discouraged as per the provincial direction. For more information, please see: COVID-19 and Considerations for Travel (publichealthgreybruce.on.ca).
Individuals should be mindful of the risk of participating in team sports, and should not socialize with the team before and after training or the game
Across Canada, sports-associated transmission of COVID-19 has occurred from improper use of locker rooms, participants carpooling and socializing outside of their household, belonging to more than one team, improper travelling, and not wearing masks. It is extremely important that everyone abide by standard COVID-19 precautions and the rules for hockey, given that if transmission occurs within the team, it is likely that transmission will continue within households and workplaces as other jurisdictions have seen.
Additional Recommendations for Hockey:
Refer to Measures for Sports and Recreation Facilities for more information on facility requirements for the yellow (protect) level
