​Important COVID-19 related information

UPDATE: 11 March 2022
The IVF has reviewed the Covid-19 protocols  and due to UK Government Covid-19 regulations recently changing, vaccination will not be a requirement of participation/attendance at the World Elite and World Club Sprint Championships.

Given the evolving and changing nature of the international Covid-19 situation, the IVF and GB Outrigger encourage all those attending the event to be fully vaccinated against Covid-19 before travelling to the UK. It is advised that you closely monitor the Covid-19 situation if you intend on travelling to the UK. Regulations can change at any time, as we have seen over recent months. The latest guidance on the UK Covid-19 rules for travel and participation can be found at www.gov.uk 

Please be aware that every country or territory decides who can enter and leave through its borders, so, as well as checking the UK travel situation, you should verify the regulations of any country you are transiting through or returning to. 

Travel Advisory

UPDATE: 11 March
Given the changing nature of the Covid-19 global pandemic the IVF will continue to advise Member Federations and participants to ensure any travel or accommodation bookings are flexible/refundable where possible.
