Barns Green Village Hall - Covid-19 procedures
For the front section of the hall (stage to main door) we will be using the “one-metre-plus” (Seating model 1) approach which means members of the public can be one metre away from each other as long as other measures are put in place to limit the transmission of the virus.
People from different households will now only have to keep one metre apart, including in newly opened businesses, as long as people are taking other precautions such as wearing a mask, regularly washing hands, and sitting side-by-side rather than face-to-face.
Technically social distancing is still 2m; it is 1m plus other mitigation measures where 2m cannot be applied. We are working to the acceptable 1m plus mitigation guidelines for the front section of the hall, because numbers that could be admitted at 2m across the whole hall would prevent the shows taking place.
The back section of the hall will be at “2m spacing” (Seating model 2) limited number of seats.
Over 70 year-olds are welcome to attend but must book seats in the rear section only, However, the guidance for those aged 70 and over continues to be that they should take particular care to minimise contact with others outside their household.
