Corona Virus Statement

At Winchmore Hill Sports Club the health and safety of our staff, club users and visitors is a priority. These are the actions we are putting in place to respond to Coronavirus. In the specific circumstances of the Coronavirus epidemic we have been advised on preventative measures to take.

What are We Doing

We are following government advice and directions currently summarised at:

https://www.gov.uk/government/topical-events/coronavirus-covid-19-uk-government-response

In line with this Winchmore Hill Sports Club will continue business as usual but will be carefully monitoring the situation and assessing the implications. If necessary, to ensure that both risk and disruption are minimised we may need to cancel meetings or events and may have to make alternative arrangements. If this is the case then, details will be posted on our website and on social media.

We are increasing the level of cleaning and hygiene in the Pavilion by:

  • Increasing the frequency of cleaning to sanitise hand accessible high use surfaces, equipment, door handles, lockers, bar surfaces and furniture.
  • Ensuring that soap dispensers remain filled in all toilets and changing rooms
  • Continuing to remind users of the importance of good hygiene

How You Can Help

Visitors, staff and users are encouraged to help reduce the spread of illness through good personal hygiene. This includes frequent hand washing and covering your mouth when coughing or sneezing.

Familiarise yourself with the latest guidance from Public Health England and do not visit if you are showing symptoms of the coronavirus and in that circumstance you are advised to self-isolate.

Individual Sections should advise members on preventative measures, encourage good hand hygiene and should thoroughly clean and wipe down all equipment after use.
