Disclaimer: it's possible not everything is up to date on this site. You always need to follow the guidelines of the government.

If you have (small) symptoms of corona, stay home and contact GGD: 0800-1202 or www.coronatest.nl. Stay home till you know the result of the test.

I got corona

If your test is positive, you're not allowed to join a match, practice or Punch activity. You need to go in isolation. We would like to know if your test is positive, if you're okay with that (bestuur@punch.tudelft.nl or +316 244 675 80).

You need to follow the instructions of the GGD. They will contact you and your team if you need to be in quarantine.

With what symptoms am I not allowed to join Punch activities (incl. practices and matches)?

You need to listen to the rules of the RIVM, check this site. So if you have cold symptoms (nasal cold, runny nose, sneezing, sore throat), coughing, shortness of breath, elevated temperature, a fever or sudden loss of taste and smell (without nasal congestion).

Roadmap if you've had practices/ matches where it's allowed to come in 1,5 meters from each other.

1. How many persons in your team have symptoms of corona?

  • 1 or 2 persons in the team have symptoms of corona

- Inform all teammembers as soon as possible.
- The persons with symptoms need to stay home and have to test themselves. The practices and matches can continue as long as the person(s) don't know the result. 
- The other teammembers can still play volleyball during practices and matches, but need to be careful watching their health.

  • 3 or more persons have symptoms of corona (arised at the same day or 1 or 2 days difference) 

- Inform all teammembers and the Board as soon as possible.
- The next matches and practices will be cancelled till the testresults are clear. The people with symptoms stay home and test themselves.
- All teammembers need to monitor their helath strictly. This means: you need to measure temperature twice a day and watch your health.

2. Negative or positive?

  • Negative: the people that got tested don't have corona

The whole team can play again.

  • Positive: the people that got tested have corona

Everyone needs to follow the instructions of the GGD. If that person doesn't have any symptoms for 24 hours and it was minimal 7 days ago that he/ she got sick, that person can play again.

NOC*NSF guidelines

In general, sporters are not longer than 15 minutes very close to each other, so the GGD doesn't see teammates as 'other non-close contacts'. In this case, players can join matches, but need to pay attention on physical symptoms (see 'With what symptoms am I not allowed to join the practice?') and take their responsibility during activities.

Besides that, the following applies: safety first. If you know the person, who was tested positive, was in your 1,5 meter, please go in quarantine as long as the government tells you to.
