While COVID-19 restrictions have been lifted, we will still be taking precautions to reduce the risk of transmission during physical events:

· Face coverings are no longer a legal requirement. However, some members may feel more comfortable continuing to wear one and this should be respected.

· Inform your WI Committee if you attended a WI meeting/activity and have tested positive for Covid in the last 10 days.

· Where possible, it is still recommended that members carry out a rapid lateral flow test before attending a meeting to ensure they are not unknowingly infected with Covid.

· Members who are clinically at high-risk are advised to decide carefully whether attending face-to-face is a safe option for them in the chosen venue and situation.

· Whilst social distancing is no longer mandatory you may choose to limit the close contact you have with people you do not usually live with.
