CORONAVIRUS (COVID-19) - CLUB STATEMENT
Torrisholme CC • 13 March 2020
We have had enquiries from parents and members regarding our junior and senior winter net sessions currently being held on Sunday evenings.
As there are no immediate plans for general school closures or small gatherings around the country, we are following official government advice and plan continue with our sessions as normal. This will be the case until such time that we are advised otherwise by public health, local or central government authorities.
Hand hygiene is strongly promoted and sharing of protective equipment (especially helmets) should be limited, ideally most older juniors have their own kit. However, if your child intends on using club owned protective kit, we will be promoting hand washing in between kit swaps. You may also like to provide your child with anti-bac wipes or hand gel for this activity.
Obviously if any player, family member or spectator has a new cough, sore throat or temperature then they must not attend on Sunday nights and must follow the public health instructions to self isolate for seven days. For more information see www.nhs.uk/coronavirus
As you’ll be aware this situation is changing on a daily basis, but at present we will continue with our indoor net training sessions.
