COVID 19 and kayaking trips. We can run kayaking trips under alert levels 1 and 2.
Under alert level 1, we can do so almost as we did before COVID 19. However, please do not come on trips if you have respiratory disease symptoms. Also please let the trip organizer know if you develop respiratory disease symptoms within 4 days after the trip, and make sure that the trip organizer can contact you after the trip - just in case.
Under alert level 2 we need to take some additional precautions. Here is the link to alert level 2 guidelines.
