Training: 

• Training will be carried out for the entire staff to explain all the protocols in force at that time. Each type of worker will know in a comprehensive way their area and all their actions. All workers will be equipped with Epis (Personal Protective Equipment), following the established protocol. 
• Before the start of the campus, the coordinator together with the monitors and their groups (in shifts) will give a training to all participants with special emphasis on individual/social responsibility and hygiene and coexistence rules. This training will be a cross-cutting part of the campus training program, with daily time spent through activities. 

Routine medical check-ups are as follows:

• Medical care service. 
• Responsible for protocol monitoring and evaluation. Within each campus there will be a team responsible for the implementation of 100% of the protocol.

3. Activities: 

• As far as possible, activities will be adapted to reduce physical contact between participants, as well as hand/face or hand/material contact. 
• The activities will be restricted to the components of each of their groups, except for certain circumstances in which, due to their number and age, the participants may join another group for matches or tournaments. 
• There will be three hand cleanings during the activities: before starting, in the middle and at the end. In addition, at any time when there is a situation of unexpected contact or contagion, the hands will also be cleaned.

4. Day to day of our campus: 

• Check In. 
• In order to set foot on campus, whether in Day Campus (every day) or Residential Campus (the first day), the participant must follow the transit or customs security area, similar to the one shown in the following video on our Health Protocol.
• Temperature measure.
• Disinfection of hands with hydroalcoholic gel. 

Open space maximum capacity: our campus is developed 80% of the time in open spaces. We enjoy very large and spacious facilities where we can safely develop the campus. 

Ciudad Real Madrid Valdebebas: within the million square meters that Ciudad Real Madrid Valdebebas has, Campus Experience will use 4 artificial soccer fields of 105m x 68m each. Only two groups of 15 players will train on each field, with each group having more than 3,500 square meters for training. In addition, there are activity areas and bleachers with enough shade to provide a safe campus.

Universidad Europea de Madrid: the student residence, annexed to the sports complex, has large areas of grass, shade and recreation. 

‘’Erasmo’’ Residence of the Autonomous University of Madrid: the students residence, annexed to faculties and sports facilities, has large spaces of grass, shade and recreation.

‘’Montepríncipe’’ Residence: the student residence, annexed to the San Pablo CEU, has large spaces of grass, swimming pool, shade and recreation.

Cantoblanco University Swimming Pool / Villaviciosa de Odón Swimming Pools: Campus Experience participants will have an independent entrance to the rest of the users, as well as a separate space. Participants will not use the swimming pool’s changing rooms because they will arrive dressed properly (with swimming clothing) from their own sports facilities. All the safety protocols of the pool will be followed in terms of capacity and safety distance both inside and outside the water. 

Maximum capacity in closed spaces: only 20% of the time will be spent in closed spaces, where masks will be used, except for lunch time and showers. These specific measures will be strictly enforced.

Dining rooms: we reduce the capacity by 75% while maintaining the safety distance. 

Changing rooms: the locker rooms are large enough to maintain the safety distance in the change zone. We reduce the capacity in the shower area by allowing only 5 participants simultaneously. 

Classrooms: we reduce the capacity by 75% maintaining the safety distance between participants. 

Bus routes: when getting on and off the bus, each participant will follow a small sanitizing tunnel to disinfect hands, face, and shoes. Before and after each use, handlebars, grips and areas susceptible to contact will be disinfected.

5. Documentation and regulations:

• Each family must provide specific documentation according to each program:

• Day Camp:
  • All families must accept and sign a responsible declaration guaranteeing that during the 14 days prior to campus, the health of the participant (and the people with whom he/she lives) has been adequate and has not suffered any symptoms such as cough, fever, fatigue or shortness of breath and has not been in contact with anyone with such symptoms. 
• Residential Camp:
  • All the participants of a residential campus must provide a negative PCR testing carried out 72h prior to their check-in to campus in order to participate in our residential camp programs.

• The Real Madrid Foundation is exempt from any responsibility regarding the health status of the participant, except for ailments that may be caused by sports practice during campus. 
• If a participant does not pass the Covid security customs successfully: 
  • He/she will be sent back with his/her family and a change of week will be proposed for the 2021 or 2022 edition.
• If during the development of campus, the contagion of a family member of a participant is detected, it will be immediately communicated to the campus organization so that the measures indicated by the Ministry and the health services can be enforced.
• In the event of any symptoms once the participant is on campus:
  • If he/she is enrolled in a Day Camp: they will immediately leave the campus or will not attend that day. He/she will be offered to make up the days not enjoyed during another week of 2021, once the relevant quarantine has been cleared. 
  • If the participant is enrolled in a Residential Camp: the activity will be interrupted and the appropriate protocol will be established, consisting of: 
    • Notifying his/her family members so that they are aware of the situation. 
    • Go to the health center that corresponds to each participant according to their health insurance or public health center. 
    • In the event that the health services advise isolation for possible symptoms related to Covid19, the family members must come to pick up their child within a maximum period of 24 hours since the notification.
      

6. Protocol for a possible positive:

• The participants of the group and the staff with whom the Covid-positive had contact with will be informed of the existence of a positive.  
• Following the instructions of the health authorities, the activity may be cancelled, and the center temporarily closed for disinfection. 
• A protocol is established for this purpose, approved by the competent authority, which contemplates the consequences of this decision within the current legislation. 
• Short-term closure of the building to thoroughly clean / disinfect and prepare the facilities for subsequent shifts.
