‘The most common symptoms of COVID-19 are recent onset of a new continuous cough and/or a high temperature and/or a loss of, or change in, normal sense of taste or smell (anosmia). If you or anyone in your household, develops these symptoms, your whole household must remain at home and not go to work, school or public areas. You should arrange testing for the person who has developed symptoms.

·       Bring a Pilates mat and head cushion if required ( I will not be loaning these out as previously) 

·       Arrive only at the specified class time ( clients arriving early will be asked to wait outside )

ON LEAVING THE CLASS

·       Put your mask on before leaving your mat and the class.

·       Clean any props used with the disinfectant spray provided.
