COVID-Safe Plan - updated August 2021. When classes resume: 

1. People are asked NOT TO COME if any of the following apply:
   • they feel unwell (for ANY reason other than a known chronic condition);
   • they have any COVID-19 symptoms at all, or any cold or flu-like symptoms;
   • they have stayed in or have travelled to or through any area listed as a COVID-19 hotspot within 14 days of this class;
   • they have had close contact with anyone who has stayed in, or travelled to or through any area listed as a COVID-19 hotspot within 14 days of this class;
   • they have been advised to quarantine self-isolate for any reason.
2. Under current restrictions, the four-square-metres-per-person rule applies to dance floors.  Evans Hall is 150 square metres, so we will admit up to 32 dancers, plus up to 2 people teaching at any one time and up to 3 spectators at any one time.  Dancers and spectators will be admitted on a first-come, first-served basis, up to the limits.
3. Under current restrictions, attendees must wear face masks when indoors apart from when eating or drinking.
4. We will sanitise frequently touched surfaces (door handles, door push plates, light switches, etc) before and after the class.
5. We will provide hand sanitiser, and will have spare disposable masks in case anyone forgets their own mask. 
6. Signs will be displayed during class to remind people how to be Covid-safe.
7. Doors will be open during the class to maximise ventilation.
8. Attendees will be encouraged to move outside when not dancing, and to maintain 1.5m physical distancing whenever possible.
9. We will keep a record of the names and contact numbers of all attendees.
10. We will act quickly to inform authorities and all those who attended if we hear of anyone becoming unwell after the gathering.
11. Attendees are instructed as follows:
    1. You must wear a face mask indoors at all times apart from when eating or drinking.
    • Please wash your hands upon arrival, and use hand sanitiser frequently, between figures or dances.
    • Please maintain physical distancing of 1.5m from people in other households whenever you can.
    • If not participating in or watching a dance figure, we encourage you to step outside.
    • BYO water bottle, and try to BYO cup. Tea/coffee, milk, hot water will be supplied. 
    • We recommend that you bring your own afternoon tea, including plate & cutlery.
    • If you do decide to bring something to share with others, or to accept shared food, do so carefully:
      • Share only items which can easily be picked up individually without touching other food items.
      • Do not crowd round the table – take your time and maintain distancing.
