Covid outbreak at the club:
A number of players have picked up Covid from last weekend’s tournament at the club. Please if you are unwell, do not come to the club. If you have covid, please test yourself before coming back the club.

If you test positive for COVID-19, it is recommended you isolate for at least 5 days, even if you only have mild symptoms. This is to prevent spreading COVID-19 to other people. You would start your isolation at Day 0 — this is the day your symptoms started or when you tested positive, whichever came first.
