COVID-19

The health and safety procedures were developed with the assistance of Missouri Athletic Commission Licensed, Doctor Melvin Maclin in consultation with other leading medical professionals. The health and safety procedures place a significant emphasis on: advanced screening, proactive guidelines and self-reporting procedures, and cleaning procedures.

All NFA personnel, athletes, and attendees involved with the event will be required to comply with all guidelines in effect at the time of the event. Only limited exceptions will be made where required for critical operations. For example, when two NFA athletes are present in the octagon for a mixed martial arts/kickboxing bout. Social distancing guidelines will be implemented throughout the venue including but not limited to:

• Handshakes and other similar contact-based greetings, such as “high-fives” will be discouraged.

All NFA personnel, athletes, and attendees involved with the events may be subject to the following screening procedures and guidelines. The screening procedures will be implemented by NFA personnel. NFA may implement the below procedures as often and as frequently as it determines. If consent to the procedures is not provided, or if the procedures are not complied with, NFA will not permit the applicable person to attend the events or to remain on-premises or otherwise.

1. Temperature Screening

All personnel, athletes, and attendees may be subject to having their temperature taken. If such a person has a temperature at or greater than 100.4 degrees Fahrenheit (38 degrees celsius), the person will not be permitted to enter the venue or remain on-premises.

2. Questioning

All personnel, athletes, and attendees will be asked a series of questions prior to entry into the venue, including whether the person has recently traveled internationally or domestically to any areas with sustained or ongoing transmission of COVID -19, whether the person has had known, prolonged contact with a confirmed carrier of COVID -19 or a person who has been ill due to COVID -19; and whether the person lives in the same home or quarters with another person who is suspected, or confirmed, to have contracted COVID -19. Additionally, all personnel, athletes, and attendees will be asked a series of health questions prior to entry to the venue, including whether the person has, in the prior two weeks, experienced any fevers, coughing, sneezing, headache, body aches, fatigue, shortness of breath, unexplained nausea, vomiting and/or diarrhea; whether the person has
experienced a sudden loss of taste or smell.

Specifically, upon arrival at the event, all NFA personnel, athletes, and attendees will go
through the above temperature screening, questioning and testing procedures. If the person satisfies the above screening and questioning procedures to the extent required by NFA medical staff, the all personnel will be instructed not to leave the premises after completion of the screening and testing procedures (other than as required for the events).

NFA has coordinated closely with the venue to consult on a cleaning and sanitization plan. The venue will be cleaned and sanitized prior to commencing the event. Some key elements of the cleaning and sanitization plan are noted below:

• For event, all surfaces requiring sanitization including the octagon mat and ancillary areas in between bouts will be sanitized with disinfectants against viruses.
• Including but not limited to; octagon mat, pad coverings, corner stools, and steps.
• Each contestant will be furnished with a set of disinfected fight gloves. The gloves will only be used by the contestant and will not be used later in the event.
• Each team will be furnished with two disinfected towels, one disinfected corner bucket, and a bottle of water.
• Hand sanitizer stations will be placed in various locations throughout the venue
• Frequency of routine cleaning procedures will be increased as compared to standard
• operating procedures.

NFA personnel and athletes will be instructed to review the World Health Organization (WHO) and United States Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) information and guidelines in advance of events.

The guidelines include the following:
The most common symptoms of COVID -19 are fever, tiredness, and dry cough. Some patients may have aches and pains, nasal congestion, runny nose, sore throat or diarrhea. Other reported symptoms may include the sudden loss of taste or smell. These symptoms are usually mild and begin gradually. Some people become infected but do not develop any symptoms and don' t feel unwell. Most people (about 80%) recover from the disease without needing special treatment. Older people, and those with underlying medical problems like respiratory issues, high blood pressure, heart problems or diabetes, are more likely to develop serious illness and are considered to beat a higher risk of getting sick.
COVID- 19 is thought to spread mainly from person to -person:

• Between people who are in close contact with one another (within about 6 feet)
• Through respiratory droplets produced when an infected person coughs, sneezes or talks
• These droplets can land in the mouths or noses of people who are nearby or possibly be inhaled into the lungs. The droplets may also land on objects and surfaces around a person.
• Recent studies have suggested that COVID - 19may be spread by people who are not showing symptoms (asymptomatic).

To reduce your chances of being infected or spreading COVID - 19:

• Clean your hands often
• wash your hands often with soap and warm water (at least 100 degrees fahrenheit) for at least 20 seconds, especially after you have been in a public place, or after blowing your nose, coughing or sneezing.
• If soap and water are not readily available, usea hand sanitizer that contains at least 70 % alcohol. Cover all surfaces of your hands and rub them together until they feel dry.
• Avoid touching your eyes, nose and mouth with unwashed hands
• Practice social distancing
•  Avoid close contact with people who are sick.
• Stay home as much as possible and comply with federal, state and local orders.
• Put distance at least 6 feet) between yourself and other people, especially those who are at higher risk of getting sick.
• Cover your mouth and nose with a cloth face cover when around others.
• Everyone should wear a cloth face cover when they have to go out in public, for example to the grocery store or to pick up other necessities.
• The cloth face cover is meant to protect other people in case you are infected.
• Cloth face coverings should be routinely washed depending on the frequency of use.
• Continue To Keep at least 6 feet between yourself and others. The cloth face cover is not a substitute for social distancing.
• Cover your coughs and sneezes
• If you are in a private setting and do not have on your face cloth covering, remember to always cover your mouth and nose with a tissue when you cough or sneeze or use the inside of your elbow.
• Throw used tissues in the trash.
• Immediately wash your hands and disinfect.
• Clean and disinfect
• Clean and disinfect frequently touched surfaces daily. This includes tables, doorknobs, light switches, countertops, handles, desks, phones, keyboards, toilets, faucets and sinks.
• If surfaces are dirty, clean them.
• Most EPA - registered household disinfects will work.

Keep up to date on the latest COVID -19 hotspots (cities or local areas where COVID -19 is spreading widely). If possible, avoid traveling to places - especially if you are an older person or have diabetes, heart or lung disease. If you are in or recently visited in the last two weeks areas
where COVID -19 is spreading, in addition to following the protection measures outlined above:

• Self-isolate by staying at home if you begin to feel unwell, even with mild symptoms such as headache, low grade fever. (37.3 Celsiusor above) and a slight runny nose, until you recover. If it is essential for you to have someone bring you supplies or to go out, e.g. to buy food, then wear a mask to avoid infecting other people.
• If you develop fever, cough and difficulty breathing, seek medical advice promptly as this may be due to a respiratory infection or other serious condition. Call in advance and tell your healthcare provider of any recent travel or contact with travelers.
