CORONAVIRUS UPDATE 1

9th March 2020

W/C 09 March 2020

New Routes is currently running all sessions as normal, and providing information based on current Public Health England advice.

Participants are welcomed to sessions and reminded of the need to be vigilant (ie washing hands thoroughly, using disinfectant hand gel not attending if they are feeling unwell or have recently travelled from infected areas) Updated information is posted to the front door of the social centre.

New Routes will provide up-dates on significant changes and information on our website [www.newroutes.org.uk] and Facebook account [Facebook.com/NewRoutes NR]. Participants and volunteers are encouraged to regularly check these information channels.

Participants and volunteers with other underlying health concerns are encouraged to carefully consider attending activities during this period.
Suspending classes

We will suspend classes if:
• Instructed to do so by Public Health England.
• We feel that there is unnecessary risk to students and volunteers
• We don’t have sufficient staff and volunteers to safely manage the sessions

If staff think that we should suspend classes, we will talk to the trustees via the Chair who will make the decision quickly by email.

Volunteers and participants will be informed via email and social media.
