The WKF COVID-19 guidelines provide health and safety recommendations for karate events during the pandemic. Key recommendations include monitoring health for 14 days before events, maintaining social distancing, frequent hand washing and mask wearing. Participants must fill out health questionnaires, limit sharing equipment, and notify organizers if feeling ill. Organizers should provide single use towels and masks/gloves for staff, conduct online briefings when possible, and limit bus occupancy for transportation. During competitions, at least 9m2 per person is required with only one coach per athlete allowed in the competition area wearing masks.
