We just wanted to let you know that we are thinking about the coronavirus/Covid-19 in relation to EMA. To date there are no cases in Exeter but we are putting extra measures in place to keep everyone safe.

As you know we wash the mats several times a week. In light of the current Coronavirus we will be increasing this and also ensuring that all contact points — doors, light switches, desks — are wiped daily with disinfectant.

In an effort to improve hygiene and reduce the possibility of transmission within our academy, we ask that members wash hands thoroughly upon arrival at the gym, as well as continuing to practise good hygiene as normal (shower before and after training, clean kit after every use, don't share personal kit).

Please do not come to the gym or bring your child to training if there is any suspicion of illness within your household, including: generally feeling unwell, headache, high temperature, coughing or sore throat, or shortness of breath.

Please also do not come to training if you have recently returned from travelling to any of the areas currently known to be affected by outbreaks of Covid-19. Contact your healthcare provider for more information. The risk to the general population remains low and we do not wish to cause alarm, but we wish to reassure you we are treating this outbreak seriously and doing what we can to minimise risk.
