The crown traffic light is on and the sport gropes in the dark



[ad_1]

On the home page (https://corona-ampel.gv.at/) you can read all the measurements associated with the traffic light colors. For sports activities, the medium alert level initially means that there are no restrictions compared to the green phase.

However, starting with orange (“high risk”), sports and leisure activities that involve physical contact should no longer be practiced. This does not include first class sport, which is subject to additional restrictions such as the number of visitors (maximum 250 indoors, 500 outdoors). In closed rooms, such as fitness studios, there should be capacity restrictions depending on the area. Except in direct exercise of sports, oral and nasal protection must be applied again in Orange indoor.

If the traffic light is red (“very high risk”), fitness centers and similar sports and leisure facilities are closed. Outdoor sports should only be done alone or with people who live at home.

According to the definition of the Federal Sports Promotion Law, high-level sport, in which a distance of 1 meter is only “exceptionally”, must be allowed with restrictions even at the highest level of warning. In closed halls, if there are “adequate protective measures”, outdoors, such as the Bundesliga, “subject to conditions”. What this means in concrete terms will not be known until the relevant laws are published.
