Procedures and Precautions
The task force that the Governor’s office has commissioned will have sanitation standards. These will be applied pre-event, several times throughout the day during the entire event, and extensive nightly sanitation that will exceed the national standard. The standards will also be applied to participating hotels, all storefronts, and all restaurants. The Pontchartrain Center will be sanitized to be COVID-19 free prior to the event daily and nightly throughout the event.
The number of courts will be limited this year bringing the crowd size down significantly. All of our contracted hotels have committed to plans to thoroughly sanitize rooms prior to arrival and throughout the entire stay at the hotel.
