COVID Safety Policy

Last update 24th Feb 2022

From 24th Feb 2022, following UK Government announcement, COVID-19 restrictions were legally lifted. Whilst this is good news is, we need to maintain a level of caution.

COVID-19 has NOT gone away and new variants like the Delta and Omicron variant are leading to higher cases numbers.

Therefore, for the safety and wellbeing of all players, we will continue some of the COVID-19 safety measures.

Session attendance

DO NOT come if you are showing OR suspect COVID-19 symptoms OR awaiting COVID test results

If we suspect you have COVID and/or are showing any other symptoms of any illness – we may deny you entry into a session (even if you have a confirmed place) for safety of all other club members.

Declaration

A COVID-19 safety statement will still be required before playing. This is part of the session sign-in sheet.

During session

While the legal social distance limit of 2m will no longer be in force from 24th Feb 2022, please respect other players who may wish to still maintain a safe distance, 1m+ gap wherever possible.

No bodily contact, including handshakes and high fives between players.

Use hand sanitisers before and after play and in-between if possible

Wear a face covering when not playing, and when moving to any other part of the venue, e.g. to use toilets.

After session

If you feel unwell and/or test positive for COVID after attendance a session, you MUST immediately notify the club organiser. Contact details as follows:

Other conditions

Like COVID-19, Monkeypox has been spreading in the UK and many countries across the world according to the World Health Organisation (WHO).

Monkeypox spreads easily when there is physical contact, similar to COVID-19. For health and safety of all club members, the general club rule is to avoid physical contact all together. This means no bodily contact, including handshakes, high fives and maintenance of 1m+ social distance at all times.
