In order to help the WHO and natonal authorites to protect against propagaton of the SARS-CoV-2 virus, the
pathogen for the COVID-19 disease, you are required to follow the recommendatons of the WHO.
These are available in Arabic, Mandarin, English, French and Russian at the WHO website.
(htps://www.who.int/emergencies/diseases/novel-coronavirus-2019/advice-for-public).
Reading them and instructng your teams accordingly is an important step in this unusual situaton as we must
react swifly and efficiently.
Basic protectve measures (WHO, recommendaton):
• Wash your hands frequently - use water or alcohol-based sanitzing lotons
• Maintain social distance - fencers salute only by weapon
• Avoid touching eyes, nose and mouth - these are the main ports of entry for the virus
• React at the first symptoms (fever, cough, difficulty breathing) - see your doctor for further advise.
Please be informed that the organising commite of any FIE-event may enforce any additonal measures put in place by the local authorites of host city.
