BIOSAFETY PROTOCOL
June 10 - 19, 20212
INTRODUCTION
The National Paralympic Association of Peru (ANPPERÚ) presents below this
general information document related to the COVID-19 Biosafety Protocol that will
be used in the WORLD SHOOTING PARA SPORT WORLD CUP - LIMA 2021.
which will take place in Lima, Peru, from June 10 to 19, 2021, and which will grant
the last places for qualification to the Tokyo 2021 Paralympic Games.
The organizers of the event will use the concept of "sanitary bubble" and will
include all those who participate in the event: para-athletes, coaches, officials,
judges and staff of the organization.
There will be no exceptions to being part of the bubble and any deviation from the
rules will automatically make the group ineligible to participate in this event.
1- GENERAL BIOSECURITY MEASURES
All members of the delegations participating in the event must comply with the
measures established in this document from their arrival to the country until they
leave it, including extra measures that will be duly informed by the organizing
committee.
The general system of "sanitary bubble" for the prevention and control measures
of contagion of COVID-19 in this event will be based on the "isolation" of all
correctly registered participants in specific areas, from arrival in our country to
departure. The bubble of this event will include:
- Transfer from the country of origin.
- Use of official transport.
- Stay at the official hotel.
- Use of common areas.
- Use of the feeding areas
- Use of the training venues
- Use of the venues for competitions.
- The awards and press and communication areas.
This measure seeks to avoid the mandatory quarantine in our country for the
performance of the Para sport event in a safe individual and collective manner.
Therefore, no person outside or not accredited by the organizing committee may
be part of the “sanitary bubble”.
All NPCs must clearly understand that their delegation members must have
medical insurance to ensure payment of costs related to the corresponding medical
treatment.3
