Hi All,
Advice from the HSE is that The risk of catching coronavirus in Ireland is still low. This may change. However, most people may continue to go to work, school and other public places, as usual.
The official HSE Information can be found by clicking here Corona Virus Update (HSE)
While this advice remains in place, GAA club matches and training will continue as usual. If any person feels themselves to be especially at risk or for any other reason would prefer not to participate in games or training, then, of course, they are fully entitled to step aside while there is a risk of transmission. Players are advised to bring their own water bottles to games and training.
ON THE PITCH:
· Do not share water bottles.
· Wash hands at the earliest opportunity when home.
· If your son/daughter is not feeling well (coughing & sneezing), consider a skip on training until feeling better.
· Avoid sharing or borrow anyone else’s helmet
· if you feel unwell during training/match please notify a coach immediately.
· Avoid shaking hands post-match during this time. Use the elbow touch or offer 3 cheers to the opposing team as an alternative.
AT HOME:
· First and foremost, be clean wash hands regular (especially after bathroom visits).
· Teach the kids and yourself to wash your hands as long as singing happy birthday to yourself.
· Avoid touching mouth & nose when about, wash clean hands at the earliest opportunity.
· Sneeze in your elbow if you have to sneeze, if you need to blow your nose dispose of the tissue safely (Don’t save it for later).
HOW TO WASH HANDS:
1. Wet your hands with warm water and apply soap.
2. Rub your hands together until the soap forms a lather.
3. Rub the top of your hands, between your fingers and under your fingernails.
4. Do this for about 15 seconds.
5. Rinse your hands under running water.
6. Dry your hands with a clean towel or paper towel.
