UWCB have carried out a rigorous assessment with our clinical director; Andy Thomas (Cipher medical LTD) to make our training as safe as is practically possible.

We are aiming for training to commence from May 17^th when Boris Johnson has stated that ‘Indoor adult sports’ will be allowed.

We will be taking the following steps to ensure training is as safe as possible:

Participants will be made aware of 3 main symptoms of COVID-19 via email and told to isolate and seek testing if they have them:

• Regular temperature checks.
• No loss of taste.
• No persistent cough.

Before training starts

• Gyms formal capacity figures will be calculated, and we will run at 50% of them.
• Gyms will be as well ventilated as possible by opening windows and doors where possible.
• Gyms to display relevant services pointing participants to mental health guidance if they require it.
• Gyms will be regularly cleaned. particularly focusing on touchpoints.
• Gyms to put up signage to restrict numbers in the toilet area, with numbers based on m2 calculation of 1 person per 4m2.
• Handwashing soap to be provided by the gym at all sinks.
• Groups will be separated into bubbles of 6 based on weight.

Before training, outside the gym

• Masks to be worn until inside the gym to avoid large group meeting without masks.
• If a participant has an exemption from wearing a mask it is THEIR RESPONSIBILITY to inform coaches or make it obvious with a lanyard.
• Participants asked to stay in bubbles outside.

Entering the gym & training

• Groups to enter the gym within their bubbles and maintain 1m social distancing from other bubbles whilst entering premises.
• All participants to be temperature checked before entry to the gym.
• All participants to be asked to arrive at training in their training kit so they do not need to visit the changing rooms.
• Participants to stay in bubbles of 6 throughout the training.
• Equipment sharing to be kept to an absolute minimum.
• If essential equipment should only be shared within bubbles.
