Sports clubs in BW are preparing for the Corona alert – SWR Sport

2G or a negative PCR test – this is currently the prerequisite for doing sports in closed rooms. This is what the current corona warning level in Baden-Württemberg provides. If the alarm level is declared in the coming days, non-immunized people are only allowed to do sports outside and with a negative PCR test. Only 2G then applies indoors. On Saturday (November 13th) the number of COVID-19 cases in intensive care units was 372. Should the number exceed 390 on two consecutive working days, the alert level will come into effect.

For some sports clubs, the additional restrictions in the alert level do not represent a major change to the current situation. Because: Already now, almost only those who have been vaccinated or recovered come to fitness studios. This is what Stefan Maier, head of the SSC Karlsruhe fitness and health studio, experiences: “We already have 2G in the warning level because nobody comes with a PCR test,” says Maier and adds: “Nobody does a PCR test. Test for 50-60 euros upwards, just to go to the gym or a Pilates class for an hour. “

The 2G rule already applies in the climbing hall of the German Alpine Club in Karlsruhe. A major change due to the possible corona alert level is therefore not to be expected. At TSV Pfedelbach in the Hohelohekreis, 2G already applies, even outdoors. The club wants to protect unvaccinated and unrecovered viewers.

The effort for clubs is great

The alert level will pose problems for some clubs and active people in recreational and amateur sports, whether indoors or outdoors. Even now, at the warning level, the organizational burden can be clearly felt. This is also the case with SV Spielberg. “We currently have one who has not yet been vaccinated and one who has been vaccinated so far,” says sports director Jürgen Szilard. “We do the whole thing with PCR tests. The effort is of course there absolutely.”

Incidentally, the 2G rule also applies to spectators in the alert level. This applies to both closed rooms and outdoor events.
