Restrictions
Covid-19 guidelines require tai chi classes to consider
suitability to attend, hygiene, contact,
social distancing, capacity & crowding, ventilation, moving in, out and through
facilities.
The training hall needs to be a safe place for people to exercise. The
church and the tai chi school work together to keep the facilities clean,
hygienic and safe.
