Pre-Session

Participant Health Questionnaire

All participants must undergo a self-assessment for any Covid-19 symptoms prior to leaving home and participating in any club or coached activity:

At any point in the last 14 days have you or anyone you live with experienced :

A high temperature/fever ?

A new, continuous dry cough ?

A loss of or change to your smell / taste ?

If you answer YES to any of the above questions, NHS advice is, you should get a test to check if you have coronavirus as soon as possible.  Stay at home and do not have visitors until you get your test results – only leave home to get a test.

Advice is available on the NHS website: https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/coronavirus-covid-19/

 

Returning to activity

It is as yet unclear what impact Covid-19 will have on the long-term health of those who contracted the virus. As a precaution, clubs and coaches should consider the following:

  • If you were hospitalised due to Covid-19, you should undergo a form of health screening prior to taking part in triathlon activity. This screening is best led by a doctor with specialist training in sports medicine. However, other doctors may feel competent to make decisions on your fitness to compete and to decide any appropriate investigations that might be required.

  • If you were not hospitalised due to Covid-19 but self-isolated having shown symptoms at any time, it is also recommended to undergo a form of screening.

  • If you have felt at all unwell during the pandemic, while not recommended to undergo a health screening, it is something to be considered as part of normal health monitoring for the health-conscious competitor.

  • People who are shielding should not attend our sessions.

  • People who are symptomatic should self-isolate for seven days and households where a member is symptomatic for 14 days as per NHS guidance. No one who is self-isolating should attend an outdoor sports facility or activity (whether this is a club, coached or event-based activity) at all!

  • GPs should be able to guide you directly on what level of screening you may require and who is the best person to assist in the process. If you have any doubt about your health, you should not participate in triathlon activities.
