Spectators may attend regardless
of their vaccination status
2.
Public Health Isolation is still
10 days – until March 13th
at midnight.
“As per Public Health directives, household contacts of individuals who have
tested positive either with a rapid POCT or PCR lab-based test MUST isolate and
cannot attend “gatherings” including organized sport and recreation activities
for 10 days after a positive test regardless of vaccination status.”
February 18, 2022
We have received updated Covid-19 Level 1 information, effective February 18, 2022 at 11:59pm.
The Province will be transitioning to Level 1 of the GNB COVID-19 Winter
Plan tonight at 11:59pm (Level
measures for organized sport and recreation activities). Updates include
further information on isolation requirements for those who have previously
tested positive.
There has been confusion on the isolation
requirements related to organized recreation and sport activities. The
requirement to avoid gatherings for 10 days (which includes organized sport
and recreation activities) for those who test positive as well as their
household members regardless of vaccination status is a Public Health
directive that remains in place. Should there be any updates made to this
directive, we will let you know.
January 28, 2022
Regarding NBIAA winter sports, practices may resume effective January 29th. For safety reasons, competitions may begin no earlier than Thursday, February 3rd.

Masks
All participants are required to wear a mask while indoors and recommended
for outdoors (required on the bench & during huddles). Masks are not required by individuals who are participating
in NBIAA activities. If some sports are able to incorporate wearing a mask
into play or on a team bench, that is encouraged.
Travel
Teams and extracurricular groups will be permitted to travel within
New Brunswick. This includes travel in and out of circuit breaker communities
under the Mandatory Order.
Out of province
travel or games against out of province teams will not be permitted at this
time.
Handshakes
No unnecessary physical contact with opponents pre or post competitions. Both
teams can stand facing the opposing team to show sportsmanship after each
match/game. (IE: soccer & field hockey – bottom of half circle; baseball &
softball – 1st & 3rd base lines; football – 40 yard lines;
hockey – blue lines, basketball – foul lines; volleyball - attack lines; rugby –
10m lines).
Spectators
Masks are mandatory in indoor
public spaces and in outdoor public spaces when physical distancing cannot be
maintained.
School
principals have the authority to prohibit spectators at future events if
spectators are uncooperative and not respecting guidelines.
Schools and
school districts will be asked to develop plans to outline how they will
operationalize masking requirements for
spectators to attend sports or extracurricular activities within school
buildings effective October 29, 2021.
Contact tracing
& Isolation
All organizations/facility operators
are required to have a “Communicable disease prevention plan”
(formerly referred to as COVID-19 operational plan) that addresses requirements
for mask use, physical distancing, disinfecting, sanitizing and screening and
are revised based on GNB level measures.
Process
for school closures, games scheduled,
Regionals and Provincials.
If a school is
closed due to COVID contact tracing, no NBIAA activities can be held for that school and all practices/games
would be cancelled for that day and league games rescheduled.
Depending on when cancellations take place by school teams, some regional
or provincial games may unfortunately have to be forfeited.
