2. Hygiene practices
Wash often. Use soap. 20 seconds. Then dry. This kills the virus by bursting its protective bubble. We will ensure hand sanitizer is available by high contact areas. Use this for 20 seconds also.
3. Contact Register
Please register yourselves at accommodation, cafes, and other places we visit.
Managing an exposure or suspected exposure to COVID-19
It’s still possible one of us may start to show symptoms of COVID-19 and we will follow advice from medical authorities. We need to ensure anyone who is unwell with respiratory symptoms is immediately isolated from the group, as we liaise with local medical authorities and Healthline 0800 3585453
