If you or a member of your family has COVID-19 symptoms or is self-isolating do not attend class; book a Covid test. Before you start your course take an LFD test, and then take the LFD test twice a week. 2. If you test positive with a PCR test you need to isolate - you can return to the course venue after day 7 if you’ve had 2 negative LFD tests. 3. Enter the building before the lesson starts, follow the signage and staff instructions: use the stairs not lifts. Always stay 2 metres apart. 4.
