Face masks are not required outdoors.
Please note that only those athletes engaged in active play will not be required to wear a mask while indoors.
If you or a member of your household tests positive for COVID-19, you cannot participate in the Maccabi Games. Please do not attend any MARJCC activities or visit the campus until you have been provided further instructions. Please notify your team captain immediately.
If you were in direct contact with someone who tested positive for COVID-19, you must provide a “NEGATIVE” result on a PCR or Rapid Antigen test for COVID-19 to participate in the games.
Field Trip to Off-The-Wall
Children attending the Off-The-Wall field trip on November 24 must present a NEGATIVE test result (PCR or RAPID) or proof of full vaccination before boarding the bus.
For your convenience, two RAPID testing sites will be located in the main plaza beginning at 4:00 p.m.
A Maccabi Games staff member will be assigned to assist in resolving any testing-related issue. Please get in touch with one of your country’s captains in the event you require any assistance.
