Enhanced 2G technology now suitable for sports events and water activities
In the festive season from December 28, 2021, to January 9, 2022, the city of Neuss, located in North Rhine-Westphalia, followed the state's Corona regulations. These regulations applied to swimming pools, ice rinks, and wellness facilities.
For immunized individuals and children of school age, access to these facilities required proof of full vaccination, recovery, or a negative rapid Corona test. A notable exception was during sports and swimming activities, where masks were not worn, and thus, a negative rapid test result was also mandatory.
Young people aged 16 and above were treated similarly to adults in terms of these regulations. The regulations for this age group were the same as those for adults.
For children from school age to 15 years, the regulations were equally stringent. They were required to provide proof of full vaccination, recovery, or a negative Corona rapid test to visit the facilities.
Starting from December 28, the city's swimming pools, ice rink, and wellness facilities required the 2G+ rule. This meant that immunized individuals must provide a current negative rapid test result, not older than 24 hours, in addition to their vaccination or recovery status.
Subscribing to the city's newsletter provides in-depth information about societal developments, culinary arts, art, and culture in Neuss. However, it does not contain additional Corona regulations for the Neuss facilities, as those were previously mentioned.
It's essential to note that these regulations were part of the Corona regulations of the state of North Rhine-Westphalia. For more precise and detailed regulatory information valid in Neuss during this timeframe, one would typically consult official announcements by the City of Neuss or North Rhine-Westphalia government archives, FAQs or press releases from relevant leisure facility operators in Neuss from that time, or historical COVID-19 legal texts or state ordinances issued in winter 2021/22 in NRW.
Throughout the health-and-wellness facilities in Neuss, such as swimming pools and ice rinks, immunized individuals and children of school age were required to follow the 2G+ rule from December 28, 2021, to January 9, 2022. This rule demanded they present proof of full vaccination, recovery, or a negative rapid Corona test, along with a current negative rapid test result, not older than 24 hours. Within sports and fitness-and-exercise activities, masks weren't worn, and participants were also mandated to have a negative rapid test result.
