Statement Coronavirus (COVID-19)
The English Indoor Bowling Association has been
monitoring the situation regarding Coronavirus and following the
publishing of the
UK Governments’ plan,
yesterday, wish to advise its Clubs, County Associations and Indoor bowlers of
the following:
The EIBA are following the advice of Public Health
England in the current plans for containment of the virus. As such we
would advise clubs and bowlers, if not already doing so to implement: -
• Regular washing of hands
• Use of alcohol-based hand sanitisers
• Cough or sneeze into tissues which are then binned.
• Don’t touch
your face unless you have washed your hands.
• Self isolation if the
member believes they may have the symptoms.
In relation to the
customary handshake at the start and end of matches, the EIBA recommend
that this courtesy does not take place until the situation has improved.
With regards to National Finals and International events over the next
few weeks, none of these are currently affected. However, we will be
monitoring the situation daily and act appropriately if and when the
advice from the Government / Public Health England changes.
For
Clubs who have employees we would recommend that they keep staff up to
date on actions being taken to reduce the risk of exposure to the virus
but also to follow the guidance issued by
ACAS
Further statements will be
issued as and when appropriate to keep the Indoor Bowls Community
updated.
