Tennis PEI Covid-19 News Update

TENNIS TO RETURN IN PHASE #3 OF THE “RENEW PEI TOGETHER” PLAN

Although tennis is played in almost all cases with the appropriate social distancing requirement to meet the standards to return in an earlier Phase of the  Renew PEI Together Plan, it didn’t make the grade until Phase 3 as it is played at recreation facilities. Nor did it qualify for an earlier phase because of shared equipment (the tennis balls).

In the coming weeks Tennis PEI will work to keep you up to date with opportunities to play tennis as the restrictions are lifted.

This is Phase Three of four distinct phases that will be implemented with a progressive lifting of public health measures on individuals, communities and organizations over three-week periods.
