We have a contactless dispenser located just inside the door. o Alternatively, you can use soap/water in the washrooms o Sanitize your hands before and after class Masks in NS o As most of you are probably aware, as of July 31, it became mandatory to wear non-medical masks in indoor places. o Masks need to be worn while entering and exiting the building, in entryway, getting changed, etc. o While doing the activity wearing the mask is not mandatory. o If the participant can wear the mask while doing the activity it is recommended, but not mandatory. Practice good hygiene o Cover coughs and sneezes with a tissue. Dispose used tissues in the garbage and wash your hands or use the sanitizer immediately after. o If you don’t have a tissue, cough and sneeze into your elbow, not your hand. o Avoid touching your eyes, nose, and mouth with unwashed hands. Stay home if you're sick, especially if you have a fever or a new cough Social Distancing o We can space 16 people in 2M spots, which are marked on the floor with white sports floor tape o NS Regulations allow bubbles of people in groups of 10 without social distancing so we can modify spacing into groups that are 2M apart, as needed. o Each person is going to have their own comfort zone that we will respect and space accordingly, just let us know. Attendance o We will be keeping attendance for tracing purposes Contact surfaces will be cleaned before and after classes Hope to see you soon!
