Participants are required to check for symptoms of COVID-19 and in turn to advise individuals when booking that, in line with current Government guidance, if they are symptomatic, living in a household with a possible COVID-19 infection or if they are classified as extremely vulnerable on health group they should remain at home and follow Government guidance.
