Covid-19 Policy

HAYLING ISLAND COMMUNITY CENTRE ASSOCIATION COVID-19 POLICY

We all have a responsibility to make sure we can operate the Community Centre and stay safe, and would therefore appreciate your utmost co-operation with the following points of safety: 

1. You must not enter the Community Centre if you or someone in your household has Covid-19 or symptoms of Covid-19.  If you develop symptoms of Covid-19 within 7 days of visiting the premises, please alert the centre manager, Iona Harkness on 02392 467562 as well as the organiser of your activity.

2. Wear a mask in all public areas of the Centre, you may remove these when you reach your group, if you feel comfortable to. 

3. Use the hand sanitizer provided on entering the premises. Wash your hands often and sanitize.

4. Try to keep a minimum of 1m apart. Hirers are encouraged to seat or stand people side-to-side, rather than face-to-face, whenever possible.  Space should also be allowed so that people can also socially distance from others in their group, if required.

5. Hirers should be encouraged to keep their rooms well ventilated, opening doors (except internal fire doors) and windows as far as possible, and will need to remember to close them all for security on leaving.

6. “Catch it, kill it, bin it.” Cough or sneeze into your sleeve or elbow, or into a tissue and immediately dispose of into one of the bins provided. Wash your hands and sanitize.

7. Each group is responsible for wiping down door handles, tables, chairs, sinks and any surfaces used BEFORE and AFTER their session.  All rubbish must be disposed of in the bins provided.

8. We have the right to close the Community Centre if there are any safety concerns.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR CO-OPERATION
