additional comments:
baselines or patterns for the current situation:
- Guests and mountain guides must be symptom free when at the start of tour/course
- All planning and preparation is conducted outdoors.
- Not more than 5 persons in each group including guide on skiing/glacier, and 3 persons in climbing terrain.
- Keep a distance of minimum 2 meters
- Traveling should as long as it is possible take place in cars with maximum two persons, more if they are family.
- All guiding activities should present a risk- and vulnerability analysis to the local/communal medical infection control to get their approval
- Be even more risk reluctant than normal
With this in mind, the practicalities must be adapted to the specific situation (topography, guests, activity), i.e. in climbing the choice of route should allow space (big ledges), the possibility to use two belays to keep the guide/guest separated, reducing contact to “passing” as in shops. The point is that the singular guide must optimise his/her practise to ensure infection control, there is no blueprint. The recommendation are valid until mid-June or “further notice”.”
