Suggestions to manage the current outbreak of coronavirus infection
1. We suggest that no students who have recently arrived from China should attend any class for at least 14 days after their arrival. The same applies to students who have come into contact with anyone who has recently arrived from China within 14 days of their arrival.
2. For the time being, anyone with flu-like symptoms including temperature, runny nose, etc should not attend class for 14 days after the onset of the symptoms.
3. Everyone at training should take on a higher level of hygiene, by washing their hands before and after training, and after going to the toilet while at the dojo, and avoid the sharing of cups or water bottles at training etc.
Naturally, if anyone is diagnosed with coronavirus, this should be notified to the organization as soon as possible. This makes the accurate recording of attendance and the provision to the organization of up-to-date contact information even more important, in case of emergencies.
