GENERAL EVENT UPDATE:
FUSSY at The Yard is still continuing as planned
Hi folks,
What a weird week it's been!
In line with official guidance, the current state of affairs in London and in the UK, resources from the World Health Organization, and after conversations with the venue, our performers, and our staff on the night, WE ARE MAKING THE INFORMED DECISION TO CONTINUE WITH TOMORROW'S EVENT
If anything changes for any reason, we'll post here in the Facebook Event.
In general, our advice is to be mindful, especially if you are a member or in regular contact with members of at-risk populations (60+ years old, and/or with an underlying health condition), do some research to familiarize yourself with suggested avoidance techniques and up-to-date information (see NHS advice below), stay home if you're feeling symptomatic, and reach out to us if you have any questions, thoughts, or concerns.
Here are resources from the venue:

The Yard is currently following Government advice, which at the moment means we will continue to operate all of our programmes and spaces as normal, but we will stay in touch if this changes. We all have a responsibility to each other, our participants, artists and audiences to take steps to help prevent the spread of illness.
Up to date advice about COVID are:
- NHS advice for the general public: https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/coronavirus-covid-19/
This includes general hygiene steps we should all be taking which can help to stop the spread of illness.
- Additionally, if you are planning to travel outside of the UK, or have recently travelled outside of the UK, there is further Government advice here: https://www.gov.uk/…/covid-19-specified-countries-and-areas…
We love you and we'll be waiting for you on the dance floor with sooooo much sanitation, you'll be wondering when the last time you felt so sanitized was.

DONATION OPTION: "Support the Queers": In light of the recent developments, if you are unable to attend due to self-isolation and/or concerns regarding the current health crisis but still wish to support your local queer scene, you may donate anything you'd like using this option.
