How to we re-open to the public?

According to Government guidance from 4th July Community Centres and Social CLubs can re-open providing they follow the COVID-19 Secure guidelines.

Government guidance, refer to section 1.3

Secure Guidelines

It looks like as a minimum we should address these five things:

1. Carry out a CODIV-19 risk assessment HSE Guidance
2. Develop cleaning, hand washing and hygiene procedures
3. Help people work from home (not relevant to us)
4. Maintain 2m social distancing where possible
5. Where people cannot be 2m apart, manage transmission risk

Things we should probably review:

• One way access routes
  • i.e. in via the external stairs
  • exit via internal stairs and ground floor door
  • people were talking about technical solutions, traffic lights and the like. While this sounds nice, I think we need to keep it simple

• Cleanliness
  • Do the tables need a varnish or lacquer, to aid wiping down
  • Do we have any soft furnishings that need taking out of action
  • How do we clean contact points on equipment?
  • Keyboards seem particularly hard to deal with - gloved use only?

• Access to toilet/kitchen needs to be considered
  • how do we maintain 2m distancing, limit access to kitch to 1/2 people at a time?

• How do we communicate our plan to the community

Plan

• Face masks should be worn
• a booking should be made for a specific piece of equipment/room
