      COVID-19 POLICY

      COVID-19 POLICY

      (revised March 2021)

      Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) is an infectious disease caused by a newly discovered coronavirus. Most people infected with the COVID-19 virus will experience mild to moderate respiratory illness and recover without requiring special treatment. Older people, and those with underlying medical problems like cardiovascular disease, diabetes, chronic respiratory disease, and cancer are more likely to develop serious illness which may ultimately result in death.

      The COVID-19 virus spreads primarily through droplets of saliva or discharge from the nose when an infected person coughs or sneezes.

      UK Government guidance on Covid-19 can be found here:

      https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/coronavirus-covid-19-list-of-guidance

      1. All club members will be made aware of this policy document and associated risk assessment.
      2. All club members are expected to make their own assessment of the current risk to their individual health as well as their potential impact on others’ health that attendance at a club event may incur before entering any event.

      6. The club Treasurer will keep a record of individuals, and their contact details, who have attended each event, for a minimum of 28 days, should it become required by NHS Test and Trace.
      7. For all club events held at Ryde Canoe Lake the club will provide WHO approved hand sanitiser for use by all club members as and when required.
      8. No event will exceed 3 hours duration to minimise the requirement to eat or drink. If anyone needs to eat or drink for medical reasons sanitiser should be used before and after.
      9. When necessary a cordoned off area will be provided for club members to occupy whilst operating models to aid social distancing from members of the general public.
      10. 10.Moving the dinghy from clubhouse to lakeside shall be undertaken by a maximum of two people.
      11. 11.If possible one of these two people will then be the designated dinghy user for the event. Only one person should ever enter the clubhouse.
      12. 12.Where it becomes necessary for a member, other than the designated dinghy user, to touch any club equipment hand sanitiser should be used before and after doing so.
      13. 13.On completion of the event the designated dinghy user will spray all touch surfaces on the club equipment with WHO-approved disinfectant spray once it is in the storage container and then lock the clubhouse.

      Coronavirus (COVID-19) Operating Procedures

      Spring 2021

      Ryde Model Yacht Club acknowledges the extremely serious nature of the Corona Pandemic and respects the advice on measures essential to minimise the spread. It is RMYC Policy to comply with Government Instructions and Covid-19 advice available at https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/covid-19-response-spring-2021.

      The key defensive strategy across all areas hinges on minimising social contact and adhering to the “Hands, Face, Space procedures as follows: 

      • hands – wash your hands regularly and for 20 seconds
      • face – wear a face covering in indoor settings where social distancing may be difficult, and where you will come into contact with people you do not normally meet
      • space – stay 2 metres apart from people you do not live with where possible, or 1 metre with extra precautions in place (such as wearing face coverings)

      Organised model yacht racing within RMYC, subject to any potential change of HMG policy and Isle of Wight Council Canoe Lake Access restrictions, is planned to resume from 4 April 2021. However we must continue to be seen to be acting in a totally responsible manner and in accordance with the broader interests of the community. Accordingly the following precautions are to be adhered to: 

      • No member to take part if displaying any of the following Covid-19 symptoms:
      • a high temperature 
      • a new, continuous cough
      • a new, continuous a loss or change to your sense of smell or taste 
      • No member may take part if returning to the Isle of Wight from any country or area where UK Coronavirus travel restrictions apply and necessary quarantine measures have been completed.
      • Hand Sanitizer to be used as a minimum: on arrival; on handling any club equipment; on handling any other competitors’ boats or fittings; on departure.
      • 2m Social distancing to be maintained.
      • A designated race officer to have unrestricted movement within public areas.
      • Only 1 person to enter the clubhouse at any one time.
      • Only 1 person to operate the club dinghy
      • PPE – Hi visibility jackets to be worn
      • Face coverings are encouraged. (essential within the clubhouse)
      • A record of all participants to be maintained. 

      Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.
