Coronavirus (Covid-19)

Posted 17th March 2020

UK Chief Medical Officers have now raised the risk to the public from moderate to high, so we ask all members to follow current Government guidelines regarding hygiene and travel.

We are continuing to operate normally as much as possible until advised otherwise by the appropriate bodies. All current activities, including club play and coaching sessions, are taking place as scheduled.

The Club urges members to adopt additional hygiene routines during this outbreak – and to use common sense and caution in their social contact with other players. For those who remain well, are under 70 or do not have an underlying health condition, they are advised to limit their social contact where possible, including using public transport less frequently, working at home and consider not going to pubs, restaurants, theatres and bars.  Please remember to follow guidelines regarding hygiene and transmission, particularly in respect of frequent and thorough washing of hands and the immediate and safe disposal of used tissues.  The latest Government information and advice can be found here: https://www.gov.uk/guidance/coronavirus-covid-19-information-for-the-public

The OWA bar will be closed with immediate effect for the rest of this week and this will be kept under review as events continue to evolve.

We will keep you updated as often as we can. But please continue to check the latest Government advice.
