COVID-19 PROTOCOL

Due to the current situation in which we find ourselves, from the direction of the tournament in joint collaboration with the ATP and the health authorities, we have established an anti-COVID-19 protocol in order to minimize the risks of contagion between the players as much as possible and staff, in which the following measures stand out:

* "Bubble" tournament: All players and staff will be housed at the Puente Romano Beach Resort, with all the amenities at their disposal, so it will not be necessary to leave the venue.
* Opening to the public only from Thursday, April 1 and with limited capacity.
* Mandatory mask.
* Hydroalcoholic gel posts throughout the premises.
* PCR test to players and staff before and during the tournament.
* Temperature control and monitoring record for all attendees.
* Reduction of ball boys and linesmen.
* Players will not have contact with anyone outside the "bubble".
* All interviews will be attempted online.
* Players must stay for the shortest possible time in the common facilities.
* We will have a fleet of official BMW Automotor vehicles for the collection of all players from the airport.
