COVID-19 PRECAUTIONS WHEN HIRING THE READING ROOM
Although government restrictions on indoor activities have now been lifted, we wish to ensure that - as far as possible - the Reading Room facilities continue to be used in a Covid-secure way.
We recommend that hirers:
* maintain good ventilation of indoor spaces
* encourage the use of hand sanitisers/washing
* pay attention to social distancing.
We request that hirers consider how best to create a safe environment for attendees and take a cautious approach in respect of over-crowding. The number of attendees is at the discretion of the hirer and should take into account the activity being undertaken; there's no fixed limit for the main room but, as an example, Combe Parish Council allows for a maximum capacity of 12 people at its meetings. Hirers and attendees may wish to consider the use of face masks.
This link provides a sample risk assessment for hirers.
Hirers should remind people that if they feel unwell or if anyone in their household has Covid-19 symptoms, they should not attend an event.
