As the club has now had three cases of athletes testing positive for COVID-19 after club activities I thought it was a good idea to once again remind everybody of our current guidelines. Please continue to exercise caution while taking part in all club activities.
We will continue to operate with small groups (max 12) pre-booked through a group leader operating from locations that minimises interaction with the general public – this should continue to be the norm. Car-sharing should be minimised unless absolutely essential.
With people going away for breaks and holidays it is doubly important that anybody training/competing has complied with current regulations and has taken the necessary tests to try to ensure they are fit and healthy.
Covid-19 is still being transmitted so space and hand hygiene remains a prerequisite for your health.
If anybody develops symptoms (or has a positive LF or PCR test) after a run or training session you must contact the group leader or coach so that the other athletes can be contacted to take appropriate action based on the level of contact – please follow the latest Government Guidelines for when to self isolate (see link) – please act responsibly.
If you have been on an activity where a fellow athlete tests positive afterwards we recommend that you take Lateral Flow Tests every two days for a week, act with caution (think of yourself and others) and do not attend any club activities for a week.
I hope you understand my request for caution and can comply.
Bob Lynch
Club President
