Coronavirus
Update, March 2020
In light of an abundance of caution relating to the moving
dynamics of the coronavirus (Covid-19), USTA Southern Junior & Adult
Tournament Departments have adopted short-term policies for all tournaments
being held in March.
·
Tournament staff will monitor their county health guidelines and
Center for Disease Control (CDC) daily: https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/index.html.
·
Tournaments may still operate, as long as they follow CDC and
their county health guidelines.
·
Players will be able to withdraw without any penalty up until
the draw has been made. Entry fees should be refunded except for Active
Registration Fees.
·
Sites will do their best to sanitize common areas and provide
hand sanitizers.
·
If tournament does take place, please temporarily refrain from
handshakes after the conclusion of matches. We suggest a light racket tap
instead.
·
Ultimately, however, it is up to each player and/or parent in
deciding whether to participate in any event. Further, every player is expected
to take all reasonable precautions to protect themselves from the risk of
exposure.
·
Please post ALL pertinent information on your tournament
homepage and update regularly.
·
Thank you for your cooperation during this time. If there are
any questions, please do not hesitate to call the USTA Southern office,
770.368.8200.
We will be continuing to monitor and will update the
policy as needed as additional information becomes available.
