With cases of Covid still rising, we encourage clubs to maintain a covid secure protocol.
- Wash / sanitise hands regularly
- Do not row / visit your club / regatta if you or anyone in your household are showing signs of covid
- Encourage individuals to take lateral flow tests (still free of charge) if they are not already doing so for their work
- Continue to monitor with a Club QR code or the club’s method of track and trace, or continue with the NHS QR code
- Respect the rules set by your club and help yourself, club members and public to stay healthy
- Follow the rules set out by your club to keep equipment and facilities clean
- Be kind to your club committee who are giving their time to ensure all are safe and rowing can take place
Social distancing no longer remains at 2 metres, but as a club you need to decide what you are happy with amongst members / as a committee
Likewise, indoors, close contact when lifting gigs, housing for a gig, confined spaces etc, clubs may wish to consider a policy regarding face coverings.
You may wish to set crews according to their wishes – eg those that are double jabbed, age groups, those continuing to wear masks
