Continued Covid Rules At West Wight Sports And Community Centre

West Wight Sports and Community Centre

Freshwater based West Wight Sports & Community Centre says it will continue with current Covid restrictions until at least Easter.

Staff will continue to take regular tests and anyone showing symptoms or testing positive will stay away from work and be expected to self isolate for up to ten days or until two successive negative tests after day five.

The decision to continue with these measures has been taken so that vulnerable and high risk members of the community can continue to use the Centre with confidence.

A spokesperson for the Centre said:

“The financial risk to the Centre of paying staff who are self isolating is outweighed by the likely reduction in business from people who remain nervous and are likely to stay away.

"Many of our Centre users are older, have long term health conditions or are vulnerable.

"It is essential that people feel safe using our facilities and confident that they can continue to exercise or receive support with their mental and emotional well-being”
