MARCH COVID ENTRY REQUIREMENTS: You must show you have had a negative lateral flow test in the 24 hours prior to the class (you can just bring the test strip for this). Exceptionally, a test is not needed if you show you are fully vaxxed and show you have tested positive between Christmas 2021 and 10 days prior to the event.
It is important to realise that these requirements reduce the possibility of infection but do not remove it.
