Likely COVID Protocol
It is unclear what the covid situation will be in October, but it is likely that we will follow similar arrangements to what we did in July, and these are set out below.
Daily Lateral Flow Test
We understand the limitations of LFTs in terms of accuracy, but the cost and hassle is low and the improvement in comfort and safety matters to enough people to make it worthwhile. Everyone who comes in person is required to do an LFT in the morning, from Thursday (the day before) to Sunday, and to not come if they test positive or if they have symptoms regardless of the test result.
Please bring your test or a photo of your test with you each day.
Voluntary Masks or Social Distancing
We will not be requiring mandatory masks or social distancing, so this will be up to everyone to manage for themselves. If you’d prefer not to be touched, we suggest wearing a prominent red name tag or something like that to indicate your preference. And we ask that everyone be respectful and check with other people’s boundaries before any physical closeness or contact, especially if their requirements are different than your own.
Bear in mind that with all precautions, there is still a risk of contracting the virus. The decision to attend is ultimately yours, and these are suggested guidelines only.
Zoom Attendance
We are likely to offer Zoom participation due to the covid situation for October. If you will be attending on Zoom please inform Jona on Jona@Ridhwan.org, no later than Sunday 24 September, so that we can determine how to arrange small groups (small groups are only for students who have already applied for group membership). Zoom links will be emailed out ahead of the weekend.
Please contact Jona on Jona@Ridhwan.org with any questions about any of the above.
