COVID-19 PROCEDURE

a. World Triathlon Pre-event Covid-19 Screening Process
As has been communicated to everyone at the beginning of the season, all athletes along with the support staff applying for accreditation to a World Triathlon or Continental Triathlon event must respect the following pre-event Covid-19 screening conditions (as a minimum):
• Fill in the online pre-event questionnaire;
• Perform an Antigenic or PCR swap pre-travel test 72 hours before the athletes’ travel to the event or no later than 6 days before the event for local athletes/team support and NTOs. Tests that must currently be taken to gain entry to a country are valid as pre-travel tests;
• All athletes must submit a pre-travel medical certificate through the World Triathlon registration system according to the specifications listed in the World Triathlon COVID-19 guidelines;
• World Triathlon has developed an online tool for the World Triathlon pre-event Covid-19 screening process. Please follow the instructions below based on your role at the event to learn how to submit the questionnaire and upload the necessary documents https://triathlon.org/pre_event_covid_19_screening_guide
• The above process is standard at all events this season. Additional conditions may be imposed on events from the local health authorities. These additional measures will be communicated to all via the events’ Athletes Guides.
