Athletics Ireland - Covid19 Update 16th October 2020
The government has decided that from midnight Thursday, 15th of October, the counties of Cavan, Donegal and Monaghan will be placed on Level 4 under the Plan for Living with COVID-19.
The rest of the country remains at Level 3. Due to the deteriorating situation with the virus across the country, the Government has decided to increase the level of restriction nationwide as provided for under Level 3 in a number of areas:
- no visitors to home or garden, with the exception of visits for essential purposes (e.g. family reasons such as providing care to children, elderly or vulnerable people, and in particular those who live alone).
- in outdoor settings away from home/garden, up to 6 people from no more than 2 households can meet while maintaining strict social distancing – including for outdoor exercise and dining.
Key Restrictions at Level 3
• No competition/events.
• Outdoor training pods of up to 15 socially distanced.
• Stay in your County except for work, education, or essential services.
• Indoors: Individual training only. No exercise classes can take place.
• Gyms, leisure centres and swimming pools may remain open for individual use only.
Key Restrictions at Level 4
• No competition/events.
• Outdoor training pods of up to 15 socially distanced.
• Stay in your County except for work, education, or essential services.
• Indoors: Individual training only. No exercise classes can take place.

Important note from Sport Ireland Expert Group on Level 3:
The Sport Ireland Expert Group is awaiting final sign off on guidance for indoor sport in Level 3. Until then sports should refrain from Indoor Group Activity. Senior National Competition can no longer take place in Level 3.
Athletics Ireland will continue to share further Covid19 sport information with you as we receive it from the Sport Ireland Expert Group. We urge all Athletics Ireland stakeholders to continue to be vigilant to limit the spread of this deadly disease through social distancing, regular handwashing, sanitising together with the wearing of masks/face coverings and strict adherence to government advice.
