JK released a statement today - we should be starting now.
No icky buckets with sweat towels (clubs shouldn't be doing this anymore anyway, it's grose!)
Everyone should be using their own water bottles (ie; no communal water bottles.
Sanitisers etc... just normal common sense stuff.
and if you don't feel the best - DONT GO TO TRAINING!

I apologise for stepping out of sync with The Update today though clearly this needs to be acknowledged if only due to the albeit limited number of enquiries.
Coronavirus19 and its affect on the world shouldn’t be lost on anyone.
As we speak we are at the very least attempting to come to understand some touch points around best practice to mitigate risk.
We have absolutely no doubt the fastidious temperaments of a Sports Trainer has already beaten us to the punch but as we come to know more, please note below as a minimum
CV19 or not, the days of sweaty hands tipping a cup into bucket of Powerade isn’t great hygiene
In the short term it would be prudent to have all players be in possession of their own drink bottle.
Place hand sanitisers around the changeroom and encourage players to use them
We’re doing our best to separate best practice and reality from hysteria but we’d also suggest common sense may play a role.
However, education can be sourced here:
