Increased Covid-19 Safety Measures at Flamboro
November 2020 - Further to the Ontario
provincial government’s announcement that certain businesses in the
Hamilton Region will be moved to the “Red Zone”, Flamboro Downs will be
implementing increased measures for our backstretch operations.
Flamboro Downs is committed to providing a safe environment for both its
horsepeople and team members and introduced significant health and safety
protocols as part of our resumption of live racing on September 3, 2020.
Since Flamboro Downs has reopened, there have been no reported cases of
COVID-19 by our horsepeople or team members.
Effective Saturday, November 28, 2020, Flamboro Downs will require anyone traveling outside of Ontario (including participants from other provinces) to provide proof of the date when they arrived in Ontario, isolate for 14 days from their arrival date and to provide a negative COVID-19 test administered after 10 days of isolation.
Flamboro Downs is also implementing additional protocols for the backstretch
operations by utilizing Barn 3 as well as our paddock for live racing.
Races 1 – 5 will be allowed entry to the paddock upon their arrival, Races
6 onward will be placed in Barn 3 until which time there is adequate room
in the paddock. Races will be called over from Barn 3 as races 1 through 5
clear out of the paddock building.
Flamboro Downs would like to
take this opportunity to thank all horsepeople and team members for their
continued cooperation, understanding and support as we work through these
unprecedented times.
Flamboro Downs will continue to support the
efforts of the Ontario provincial government and Public Health Ontario in
preventing the spread of COVID-19.
