COVID Guidelines Sept 2021
1. You MUST NOT attend a u3a meeting if you have any possible covid symptoms, including fever, cough, loss of taste or smell, or cold / flu like symptoms. Please stay at home and get a test. You also MUST NOT attend if you have tested positive for covid, or been told to self isolate, even if you have no symptoms.
2. We would encourage members to use a lateral flow test (LFT) to check they are clear of covid prior to a meeting. Whilst no test is 100% they are the best tool available to all of us. LFTs are available, for free, from your local chemist or https://www.gov.uk/order-coronavirus-rapid-lateral-flow-tests They usually arrive within a day or two. The great news is LFTs only involve a nasal swab now so are much less unpleasant to do!
3. Please use the hand sanitiser provided.
4. You MUST tick your name on the class list as you come in. We would need this information if we were contacted by NHS track and trace.
5. We would encourage members wear a face covering until seated at their tables. It is then personal choice as to whether you continue to wear them.
6. We would ask everyone to give others personal space. For many of us this will be our first experience of being in a group for a long time.
7. For now we are asking that you bring your refreshments. If this meeting is successful we may provide refreshments next time.
8. Please bring your own items for each group, unless otherwise stated.
