Disability and arts News and blogs Coronavirus Update We want to keep everyone as well as possible and we continue to monitor and respond to the changing situation around Coronavirus. In line with the latest government guidance relating to the new Omicron variant, we are reintroducing some Covid precautions: Face coverings Face coverings should be worn in communal areas by staff, volunteers, visitors and students unless they are exempt. Testing If you are visiting the centre, please take a lateral flow test before coming into the centre and register it on the government website. Staff and students continue to test twice weekly. Everyone should frequently wash hands, regularly throughout the day, clean frequently touched surfaces and ventilate all rooms well. If you are feeling unwell, we ask you not to come into the centre or attend events. We will continuously review how to run rehearsals, performances and events as safely as possible. Visitors attending the carol concert and Beast and Beauty should take a lateral flow test prior to arriving, wear a face covering at the events and there will be additional safety measures at the venues. We will, as ever, keep in touch with any changes. Thank you for your continued support in helping everyone to stay safe.
