CPSA update on Coronavirus - grounds / clubs

If you have concerns about Coronavirus (COVID-19) please follow the latest Government advice and guidance which can be found at https://www.gov.uk/guidance/coronavirus-covid-19-information-for-the-public and https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/guidance-to-employers-and-businesses-about-covid-19.

 This remains an evolving situation that we are monitoring carefully and we will provide updates where possible based on the best advice and guidance available to us from relevant authorities. This includes any postponement or cancellations to our fixtures.

 It is paramount that we ensure the safety and wellbeing of all of our staff, your staff, our members, and shooters. 

 Some common sense advice at this time: 

 If you, your staff or shooters are unwell with cold or flu-like symptoms (such as a high temperature or continuous cough):

·         They should stay home until they've completed the recommended period of self-isolation and recovered fully. The NHS 111 Coronavirus service can be found at https://111.nhs.uk/service/COVID-19/.

 For those who have recently been in close contact with someone with Coronavirus or visited a high risk area:

·         They should stay home until they've completed the recommended period of self-isolation.

 Facilities:

·         Provide hand washing facilities with soap and warm water. Alcohol-based hand gel should be provided where soap and water are not available.

            ·         Consider printing out and displaying these NHS hand washing and alcohol handrub instructions at the relevant facilities, found by clicking here.

·         Consider using paper score cards instead of plastic.

·         Consider using disposable paper cups, plates, and utensils where appropriate washing facilities aren't available.

·         Limit numbers in any enclosed spaces such as clubhouses.

·         Consider encouraging electronic payments instead of cash where appropriate.  

Encourage personal hygiene: 

·         Washing hands properly and regularly (e.g. For 20 seconds on arrival, before eating / drinking and on departure etc). Using alcohol based hand sanitiser gel if soap and water are not available.

·         Cove

·         Covering mouth and nose with a tissue or  sleeve (not  hands) when coughing or sneezing. Putting used tissues in the bin immediately and washing hands afterwards. 

Greeting / parting: 

·         Encourage alternatives to handshakes, kisses, or hugs.

Encourage personal space: 

·         Try to maintain distance between each other, at least 2 meters (about 3 steps) if possible (no looking over the shoulder of other shooters etc).

It is important that we all do our part. Please take care of each other and ensure everyone follows official advice. We hope that you all stay healthy and well!
