Hello Apex Community,

This week we had an adult customer inform us that they tested positive for COVID-19 after recently playing tennis at our club. The teaching professionals who were on the court with this individual and also those who played tennis with this person have been informed of the circumstances.

Even though everyone was wearing masks and social distancing, out of an abundance of caution the tennis teaching professionals who were recently on the tennis court with this person have cancelled their lessons and clinics until they could get test results back from a COVID-19 test.

As of now we only know of this one case and thankfully we have been told that many of the other participants have been tested with negative results.  We have also taken the time to properly sanitize areas of Apex where this customer played.

We recognize that the COVID-19 numbers have increased in the State of Maine, and we want to remind our customers of a few policies and best practices:

• Wear a mask at all times in the club, including while exercising and changing in the locker room

• Social distance, including in our lobby and common areas

• If you do not feel well - you do not feel 100 percent and feel that something is off (tired, lethargic) - please do not come into the club

• If you have a household member who is not feeling well or is waiting for COVID-19 test results, please do not come into the club

• If you are waiting for COVID-19 test results, please do not come into the club

• Wash your hands frequently and hand sanitize. We have hand sanitizer located throughout our facility

We are making a few adjustments to our adult clinics moving forward. For clinics on multiple courts with several teaching pros we will be creating "pods" so that the same group of people will stay together with the same pro throughout the clinic. This will help minimize interactions with multiple players.

If you have any questions at all, please feel free to reach out to me directly.
