Unfortunately in 2020 due to the Covid 19 outbreak and following the restrictions to attempt to contain the transmission of the virus, including travel restriction and periods of quarantine, to preserve health and safety of the athletes and all other participants it was decided to cancel the event, like most world sport events. This year we are committed to deliver a safe event, following the Covid-19 prevention plan, that will be published shortly on the event web site to minimize the risk of transmission of Covid-19.  In Italy the situation is currently still serious but sports competitions of national interest are currently allowed  in accordance with the specific protocol adopted by the sports organization organizing the event, by DPCM  of 2 March 2021  http://www.governo.it/sites/governo.it/files/DPCM_20210302_0.pdf

Each Team is responsible to exercise maximum care for its team members before, during and after the event. All participants must follow the measures in the OC covid-19 Protection Plan at all times, including the wearing of masks at all times except in the boat, on an ergometer or at meals, social distancing and regular disinfection, among the other measures published by the OC.

Please note that for participation in these sports competitions entry into Italy is allowed for athletes, coaches, and accompanying staff who, in the fourteen previous days have stayed in or transited in foreign countries, including countries from which entry into Italy is prohibited, under the certain conditions, such as fulfillment of some mandatory declarations, including reason for moving for the participation to the sport competition, certification of having taken in the 48 hours prior to entry into Italian territory, a PCR or antigenic test with a negative result.

The Memorial Paolo d'Aloja International Regatta will be a good test for Teams for the start of the international rowing season and return to competitions after a long period.  The regatta this year will be staged one week after the ECQR and the European Rowing Championship taking place in Varese. Many National Federations have already expressed their interest to participate and we expect a high level of competition.
