To be updated as now in Tier 3
Dear All,
Please find attached the RFU guidance for the use of changing rooms. I have also attached the facilities guidance document that has links within the document to the varying areas of a club.Essentially for the use of changing rooms access must be limited to ensure social distancing (size of room would be dependent on occupancy)
- Mark the changing room to ensure social distancing
- Encourage players to arrive for the fixture ready to go
- Toilets to be used in separate area to ensure social distancing
- Ventilation to be in place to allow for air movement
- Teams are not to gather following the fixture as this would then be seen as a social gathering (rule of 6 and family groups only) so the club would be at risk of a fine if seen by Police.
As an example, at Didcot we have clearly marked changing rooms, they have CV-19 marshalls in place, provided separate toilets to the changing rooms and have track and trace in place.
Best wishes
