Corona tests & mask requirement: This is how the US Open should work

The organizers should also make progress on the problem of entry and exit despite international travel restrictions. After the cancellation of the ATP tournament in Washington (scheduled from August 14th) on Tuesday, doubts about holding the US Open (August 31st to September 13th) had grown. Accommodation in hotels and private houses According to the reports, the participants in New York will not be isolated in a “bubble” in a hotel at JFK Airport, as initially planned, but in the Marriott in Long Island with over 600 rooms. The Garden City Hotel is also available in Long Island. Renting private houses should also be possible in exceptional cases, as long as players adhere to isolation rules and are tested regularly. All professionals should be tested for a corona infection immediately upon arrival at the hotel. They are not allowed to leave their room until the test results are received. A second test is scheduled to follow within 48 hours, and more during the course of the tournament. In addition, the body temperature of the professionals is measured daily; apart from training and competition, masks are required at the tennis facility in Flushing Meadows. Each player should be allowed up to three guests. Quarantine should be avoided International travel restrictions have posed a major problem so far, particularly the onward travel of professionals to Europe, where the clay court tournaments in Madrid and Rome as well as the French Open (from September 27th) are planned following the US Open. The US Tennis Association USTA is reportedly working with the relevant authorities to enable players to travel to Europe without subsequent quarantine. However, entering the USA should no longer be a problem. “There is now also an assurance from Homeland Security that the players will be allowed to enter the country without quarantine,” said Herwig Straka, member of the Board of Directors of the ATP players organization and manager of world number three Dominic Thiem (Austria), on Thursday Tiroler Tageszeitung .
