Monday 19th October 2020
Good afternoon all,
How was your weekend?
Thank you to all those who have emailed me recently regarding their concerns about the latest guidelines. Your messages are very important to us, so do please keep them coming.
A number of you have asked how it is that Dragon Hall can continue with activities, while other organisations close. Please note that Dragon Hall (and its partners) ensure that we are as Covid-19 secure as possible. We do this by
- Completing risk assessment for our activities
- Asking visitors to wear a face-covering
- Making sure everyone is social distancing
- Increasing ventilation (e.g. by keeping doors and windows open)
- Keeping a record of visitors to support the NHS Test and Trace service
- Turning people with COVID-19 symptoms away.
Community facilities (such as Dragon Hall) following COVID-19 secure guidance can host more than 6 people in total, but no one should visit or socialise in a group of greater than 6.
I hope that this information helps. Here is a link to the full document if you would like to read more.
