Travel to games

This will likely initially be over short distances, and where possible overnight stays should be avoided. The Club's COVID-19 Manager or relevant Operational Lead(s) should:

• minimise the number of individuals attending to those deemed essential only (usually agreed between Club and Union). An example illustration of the number of stakeholders required to deliver a match without spectators can be found in appendix 3;
• where reasonably practical, minimise the duration of travel and stay. Travel in individual cars is preferred (unless attendees already living in the same household) but if travelling to and from the Match by bus, formally arrange for the bus to have been thoroughly cleaned before and after each journey made for the entire duration of travel.
• If a hotel stay is required;

• • arrange for hand-sanitisation points (with suitable products/equipment) to be installed at suitable locations in the hotel for the duration of the stay;
  • arrange for all rooms to be 'thoroughly cleaned' prior to arrival and on departure;
  • where possible, arrange for all team members to have individual rooms, arrange for the entire travel party to have accommodation on the same floor of the hotel, and arrange for the travel party to meet in private rooms for meals and team meetings;
  • arrange for food preparation and delivery should observe infection prevention and control measures, for example by staggering meal times and limiting the use of communal buffet style food service.
