New Covid Guidance from Harrow u3a Committee
NOTICE BOARD
In the light of the Prime Minister’s new restriction and warnings about the rapid infection rate of the new covid variant, Omicron, the committee believes that it is wise to be cautious. We therefore strongly urge you to wear masks at Harrow Arts Centre, to observe social distancing and use the hand cleansers provided.
Matthew Bennett has already issued advice to those playing table tennis at Cedars Youth and Community Centre. We believe that masks should be worn and social distancing observed as far as is possible.
Those who are attending classes in peoples homes are advised to wear masks and observe social distancing and increase ventilation. The host or group leader may require all members of the group to provide a same-day negative lateral flow test if they wish.
We believe that the unvaccinated should not attend Harrow Arts centre unless they have had a same-day negative lateral flow test to reduce the risk of onwards transmission.
Details of the lateral flow test are on a government website and the link is below: -

There is also an NHS site with explanations.

Best wishes and keep safe
