COVID 19 UPDATE: ABERDEEN 6 AUGUST 2020

Dear Members, Colleagues and Friends,

Following an increase in coronavirus (COVID-19) cases in Aberdeen, a number of local restrictions are being introduced in the Aberdeen City local authority area. These restrictions came into force yesterday at 5pm on Wednesday 5 August.

People in Aberdeen City are asked not to meet other households indoors or travel more than 5 miles for leisure or recreational purposes. There is no need to change our overall guidance at the moment but all TTS members should be aware of the local travel restrictions now being applied in Aberdeen.

The Scottish Government is also advising people not to travel to Aberdeen while the restrictions are in place, however people can continue to travel for work, or education purposes.

Bars, restaurants, cafes and pubs will be required by law to close, this includes such premises operated by sports organisations. Full details are available on the Scottish Government Website. Scottish Government has indicated that these changes will be reviewed after 7 days.

The situation in Aberdeen is a stark reminder that the virus has not gone away and re-emphasises the importance of everyone in the table tennis community adhering to the existing guidance and continuing to play our part in supressing the spread of the virus.

On behalf of everyone at TTS, stay healthy, keep safe and keep washing those hands!
