It should go without saying, but if you have symptoms DO NOT ATTEND ANY CLUB EVENT, self-isolate, and get yourself a test. Ditto if you have returned from a country or area where you are required to quarantine.

COVID-19 Officer
Mountaineering Scotland has strongly suggested that clubs appoint a 'COVID-19 Officer'. The club feels that this is a good idea, and will, in the event of any outbreak or positive result provide both the club and NHS Test and Protect with a single point of contact. The COVID Officer may be contacted here Currently, the 'officer' is Karen.
