Hi All,
We have just received this email from another club and it is something we may want to consider......
Subject: Badminton and the Corona virus
I'm sure you will all be aware of the Corona virus by now (it's talked about constantly on the news!) and while the threat to the UK may still be minimal at the moment, we still want to do our bit to minimise any chance of spreading it.
We are therefore asking that when matches are completed that you lightly touch rackets with your opponent rather than shaking hands. This action is being taken across a number of sports in this country and many others around the world. This will apply
to matches in the SDBA, tournaments that we hold and we also ask this be implemented on your club nights as well.
This shall be in place till the end of the season or until there is news that the virus has been contained.
Please pass this news onto your club members so it can be implemented as soon as possible. Any questions then please let me know.
Kind regards,
--

SDBA Secretary & Press Officer
If you have any sanitizer, please bring it along but we are looking at buying some for the club. It maybe a good idea to wash our hands before going home too.
Thank you
