BFA: Change In Match Protocol For Attendees
People attending football matches are no longer required to wear their face mask for the entire duration of the match, however they are required to wear their face mask when entering and moving about the venue and must maintain appropriate physical distancing at all times.
A BFA spokesperson said, “As a result of the Ministry of Health updating their Mass Gathering Guidelines, the Exemption Notice granted by the Ministry of National Security to the Bermuda Football Association [BFA] has been amended so as to be consistent with Section 3 of The Public Health [COVID-19 Emergency Powers] [No.3] Regulations 2020.
“As a result, please be advised that: All persons attending a Bermuda Football Association Match must maintain appropriate physical distancing which is described as; maintaining a distance between all persons who are not members of the same household of at least six feet, or three feet, provided each person is wearing a mask which completely covers their nose and mouth.
“Effective immediately, this means that persons attending football matches are no longer required to wear their face mask for the entire duration of the match as was the case recently. All persons are required to wear their face mask when entering and moving about the venue.”
