Exceptional times require exceptional measures, however even now when many of us need to live in a confined environment, there are ways to practice judo safely.

With the attached document of the IJF Medical Commission we would like to provide your association members possible protocols under which the practice of judo may be resumed if strict hygienic measures and government regulations are kept.

The aim of these guidelines is to mitigate the risk of Covid-19 infection as much as possible at club level, as the danger cannot be completely eliminated without an effective and comprehensive Covid-19 testing or vaccination programme.

These recommended protocols are dynamic, they may be revised according to WHO guidelines if necessary.

Beside the English version, Spanish and French translations are also available on the IJF website.
