Is it safe to play paintball during the Corona Virus Epidemic?
Paintball is carried out entirely outdoors, with fresh air and away from less clean environments such as pubs, clubs, restaurants, bars, cinemas and theaters.
When playing paintball you are exchanging a limited space with a high concentration of people such as a stadium, for a vast space with a very small number of participants in an outdoor setting.
Paintball rental equipment is thoroughly cleaned and disinfected with approved products before being assigned to each customer. All customers are issued their own personal equipment, which is not shared with other players during games - see our video showing goggle cleaning: http://www.camouflage-paintball.com/Mobile-masks.html and coveralls: http://www.camouflage-paintball.com/Mobile-video-Coveralls.html
Additionally, paintball markers are disinfected after each game. Our safe zones are more than large enough to facilitate social distancing, as can be seen from the photos and using the google tours on the website.
Contact between people while playing is practically non-existent in paintball as the minimum distance for shots is 2 meters.
Bathroom facilities are hygienic and are cleaned regularly throughout the day.
The weather forecasts that include warmer temperatures for paintball days, are an advantage as the sun's rays have a negative impact on the possible spread of the virus.
Common sense is required.
If you do not have symptoms and are not in the at risk groups;
1. Are 70 years of age and over
2. Under 70 with an underlying health condition listed below (i.e. anyone instructed to get a flu jab as an adult each year on medical grounds):
