Notice of Positive COVID-19 Case at Perthshire Rugby 9th January 2022

Earlier today Perthshire Rugby were notified that one of our Senior Section members who recently attended the Club has tested positive for COVID-19. We have already been in touch directly with everyone who, through our Track & Trace system, have been identified as a possible contact of the positive case. Scottish Rugby have been informed and full cooperation is being offered to NHS Test & Protect and NHS Tayside.

The Club Committee will be briefed at the scheduled meeting on Monday 10th January. With the new variants and high incidence a review of our COVID-19 policies and risk assessments was completed last week. The Committee will see if any more can practically be done to limit risk of transmission within the current environment.

While unfortunate, this was always a possibility and remains a constant danger. The Club have followed and operated COVID-19 safety measures which are regularly updated with the latest guidance from SRU and Scottish Government. Thank you to all the Club for their understanding and continued adherence to our COVID-19 polices & procedures.

No other sections of the Club are affected so Mini, Midi and Women’s rugby at Perthshire continue as planned.
