The Vice Chancellor and Minister of Sport said that “there are no team games, but training and exercise units at a distance of two meters.”
Summer sports camps for children and teens should be allowed despite the current crown pandemic, says Sports Minister Werner Kogler (Greens) about the ORF “Sport am Sonntag” program. in regards to sports activities. So there are no team games, but training and exercise units with a distance of two meters, “said the Vice Chancellor.
He thought the initiative was “extraordinarily good,” especially since it would ease parents. If the camps are connected with overnight stays, the rules for hotels and restaurants will apply.
Go back to mass sport
The crown pandemic has led to an almost complete stop in sports, at the most popular sports level. Elite sport can now become active again if the requirements are met. As of May 1, many things will be possible again in mass sports with the opening of several sports facilities and the distance of two meters in the outdoor area.
As of May 15, analogous to the gradual intensification of schools, all training for children and young people, for example, also in large groups, should be allowed again. “But we are not talking about a normal game, but (in football / commentary) about training with the ball because the distances must be maintained,” said Kogler. He also did not rule out gym classes. “There is definitely something to do outdoors.” Otherwise, smaller movement units must be carried out.
Indoor sports since the end of May.
At the end of May, you should also be allowed to do sports indoors, that is, in hallways and under one roof, also keeping the distance of two meters. “The plan is May 29. I’m sure it can and will work. But there won’t be a team game, either on or off,” said Kogler. The opening of gyms is also being considered for this date under strict conditions.
Physical contact sports will probably have to wait even longer – you can only allow them if it is safe for people to come from the same household or are not infected, Kogler said on the ORF program. However, this would require testing or quarantine. Much is possible in first-class sport, you cannot predict how it will continue.
It will depend on the numbers (of infection) if there will be team championships in the amateur and youth sector again in the fall. In the worst case, this will go hand in hand with the availability of vaccines or medications.
Public participation is not scheduled until September 1.
When it comes to events, the number of participants is not the main criterion, but whether the rules of distance can be observed. For example, he does not see running competitions, for example where he is in groups, possible for a long time. It looks different, for example, over time.
Since tennis, at least individual games, is possible in its own right, it generally did not reject the major ATP tennis tournaments at Kitzbühel and the Wiener Stadthalle. At the moment, however, audience participation events are not planned until September 1, he cannot say if anything will accelerate.
