Covid-19 requirements for media - please read carefully!

All media will be required to meet Covid-19 requirements before receiving their accreditation. Testing will be required everytime when entering a venue and all media will be required to wear a mask at all times at the venue and to follow social distancing guidelines. The event hosts and the ICF have the right to remove the accreditation of any media refusing to follow these guidelines.

Všetky médiá musia splniť požiadavky Covid-19 pred získaním akreditácie. Počas podujatia budú všetci akreditovaní novinári testovaní každý deň pri príchode na športovisko. Počas celého šampionátu bude vo vnútorných aj vonkajších priestoroch povinnosť nosiť rúško a nutnosť dodržiavať vzdialenosť 2 metre. Vopred chceme poďakovať za dodržiavanie pokynov týkajúcich sa nariadení organizátora. Slovenská kanoistika a ICF majú právo odobrať akreditáciu akýmkoľvek médiám, ktoré odmietajú dodržiavať tieto pokyny.

Ak máte záujem o ubytovanie spolu so športovcami v bubline, prosím, konatktujte: Andrea Zererova (Press Officer) - zererova@canoe.sk

IMPORTANT!

All the participants have to maintain a quarantine, it is very recommended for international media as well to stay in the Worlds Village at X-BionicsSphere

Accommodation booking through the organising committee has now closed.

However, media zone will be a "dirty bubble", which means journalists outside X-Bionics, have to pass everyday COVIDtesting.

Please note, in this case, every other person in "dirty bubble" won't be able to come in contact with your athletes and other team members isolated in X-Bionics, only in media zone with a 2 metre distance policy.
This counts for the countermeasures regarding the bubble concept of the competition.

Slovakia border policy

At this moment (August 18), all persons entering the territory of the Slovak Republic are ordered an isolation in the home environment or quarantine accommodation facility, which ends in case of an asymptomatic course of isolation by completing its 14th day or receiving a negative result of RT-PCR test for COVID-19, where laboratory diagnosis for COVID-19 may be done on the fifth day of isolation at the earliest.

The provision of Section 2 shall not apply to:
a) fully vaccinated persons,
b) persons from 12 to 18 years of age, provided that no person in the common household is covered by the regime under Section 2.

Which means, media can cross the border to attend the WCh and "be free" only if fully vaccinated, otherwise he is obligated to stay in isolation for at least 5 days. Then the covid rules for the competition apply.
