covid-19 mitigation statement

as part of the preparations for 英格兰vs美国谁会赢? events due to be held in 2024, the 英格兰vs美国谁会赢? council has further discussed the implementation of sars-cov-2/covid-19 mitigations and has agreed the following:

personal responsibility:

attendance at any 英格兰vs美国谁会赢? event is a personal choice, and council expects delegates to take personal responsibility for their actions to minimise the spread of sars-cov-2.

ventilation:

the 英格兰vs美国谁会赢? will continue to work with venues to seek assurance that these are adequately ventilated.

vaccination and pre-event testing:

we strongly urge all delegates to ensure they are as fully vaccinated as practicable, which we recognise will depend on their age and home country, and to test before travelling to any of our events. delegates should not attend if they test positive for sars-cov-2 infection. in addition, should they wish to, delegates should feel comfortable wearing a mask in any of our venues. 

mask usage and lateral flow tests:

a limited number of masks (ffp3) and lateral flow tests will be available upon request at all 英格兰vs美国谁会赢? events should any delegates wish to use them. however, these will not be routinely supplied.

the 英格兰vs美国谁会赢? council will continue to monitor the situation and update these mitigations as required.
