Dear District Presidents, Unit Presidents and Tournament Chairs,<br>
<br>
Based upon the most recently received guidance from the CDC, the following will be in effect:<br>
<br>
Until further notice, the following are mandatory:
<ol>
<li><b>VACCINATION</b>: All staff, players and volunteers must be vaccinated with a complete set of vaccinations completed no less than 14 days before the date of the event in which the player wishes to purchase an entry. Unless prohibited by law, each player must provide proof of vaccination to the Event Safety Coordinator or a member of their staff. In areas or locations where requiring proof of vaccination is prohibited by law, the event sponsor must put in place other precautions, such as mandatory rapid COVID testing <u>and/or</u> mask requirements. Please check with the Tournament Chair for any changes or updates to this policy. </li>
<li><b>MASK REQUIREMENTS</b>: Per a July decision by the ACBL Board of Directors, subject to change at any time, anyone who has received the required doses of a Covid-19 vaccine (under Health Canada, CDC, or Mexico Ministry of Health guidelines) at least 14 days prior to their attendance at a bridge tournament will not be required to wear a mask at said tournament. This ACBL policy does not countermand any ordinance or law in effect at the site of the tournament. </li>
<li><b>HAND SANITIZER</b>: Hand sanitizer must be readily available inside the playing area.</li>
<li><b>EVENT SAFETY COORDINATOR</b>: Each tournament sponsor must provide a designated Event Safety Coordinator, who will be available to review proof of vaccinations, etc.</li>
</ol>
<b><i><u>Please note that all the above are subject to change. Please check with the Tournament Chair for any clarification or further information.</u></i></b>
