Coronavirus (COVID-19)

Hello [[firstname]]

I thought it prudent to update you on the coronavirus and I have attached some advice from:

• Foggy
On gym usage
• Gov. uk
Role of the public to support
Returning Travellers

To help minimise the spread of any bacteria/virus especially with regard to the Covid19 virus please can all members take extra precautions. Even though alcohol gel is available around the club the best form of prevention is hand washing. If you feel unwell, please consider self-isolation prior to visiting the club. I have ordered additional alcohol gel and dispensers however unfortunately there is a supply issue countrywide, as soon as they arrive, they will be installed.

Thanks
Neil Patel

What is Coronavirus?
A Coronavirus is a type of virus. As a group, coronaviruses are common across the world. Typical symptoms of coronavirus include fever and a cough that may progress to a severe pneumonia causing shortness of breath and breathing difficulties.

Generally, Coronavirus can cause more severe symptoms in people with weakened immune systems, older people, and those with long-term conditions like diabetes, cancer and chronic lung disease.

The current novel coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak, which began in December 2019, presents a significant challenge for the entire world.

The impact is upon the UK government and the devolved administrations, including the health and social care systems and the public in general.

As of 3 March 20, a total of 13,911 people have been tested in the UK, of which 13,860 were confirmed negative. 51 were confirmed as positive.

Foggys advice
• Separate to this outbreak I have received feedback on gym
cleaning, I have a plan and I’ve put it into action.
• Wash your hands in hot soapy water before you train
• Wipe machine before you use it with cleaning fluid and blue
tissue in case the previous person hasn’t
• Repeat after use
• Don’t touch your face
• Wash your hands with hot soapy water after you train

The role the public can play in supporting this response
Everyone can help support the UK’s response by:
-following public health authorities’ advice, for example on hand washing
-reducing the impact and spread of misinformation by relying on information from trusted sources, such as that on www.nhs.uk, www.nhsinform.scot, www.publichealth.hscni.net, https://gov.wales/coronavirus-covid-19 and www.gov.uk
-checking and following the latest FCO travel advice when travelling and planning to travel
-ensuring you and your family’s vaccinations are up to date as this will help reduce the pressure on the NHS/HSCNI through reducing vaccine-preventable diseases
-checking on elderly or vulnerable family, friends and neighbours
-using NHS 111 (or NHS 24 in Scotland or NHS Direct Wales) (including online, where possible), pharmacies and GPs responsibly, and go to the hospital only when you really need to. This is further explained on the NHS website: When to go to A&E and Choose Well Wales
-being understanding of the pressures the health and social care systems may be under, and receptive to changes that may be needed to the provision of care to you and your family.
-accepting that the advice for managing COVID-19 for most people will be self-isolation at home and simple over-the-counter medicines
checking for new advice as the situation changes

Government Guidance on Returning Travellers:

-Stay indoors and avoid contact with other people immediately if you’ve travelled to the UK from:
Hubei province in China in the last 14 days, even if you do not have symptoms
Iran, lockdown areas in northern Italy or special care zones in South Korea since 19 February, even if you do not have symptoms
Other parts of mainland China or South Korea, Hong Kong, Japan, Macau, Malaysia, Singapore, Taiwan or Thailand in the last 14 days and have a cough, high temperature or shortness of breath (even if your symptoms are mild)
Other parts of northern Italy (anywhere north of Pisa, Florence and Rimini), Cambodia, Laos, Myanmar or Vietnam since 19 February and have a cough, high temperature or shortness of breath (even if your symptoms are mild)
-Use the 111 online coronavirus service to find out what to do next.
