What to do if you have coronavirus (COVID-19) or symptoms of COVID-19
The NHS says:
While you’re no longer legally required to self-isolate if you have COVID-19, you should try to stay at home and away from others to avoid passing on the virus.
Try to stay at home and avoid contact with other people if you:
have any symptoms of COVID-19, and have a high temperature or you do not feel well enough to go to work or do your normal activities
have tested positive for COVID-19 – this means it’s very likely you have the virusFor full details please see https://www.nhs.uk/.../when-to-self-isolate-and-what-to-do/
If you have Covid symptoms and have not taken a test, please do not attend.
There will be a section of the Hall for exclusively mask wearers. If you are wearing a mask you may of course sit where you want but if you are not wearing a mask do not sit in the masks only area. We have vulnerable people in our club and we want to make our meeting accessible for them.
We will ventilate the Hall to the best of our ability.
