Notice to members and guests of the K-W Badminton Club:

We are continuing to monitor the coronavirus pandemic.  We will take our direction from and will make decisions based on information from federal, provincial and municipal health authorities.  At this time, public health has assessed the risk associated with COVID-19 in Waterloo Region to be low. There are 4 confirmed cases in Waterloo Region, all people who have recently travelled.  We will make further recommendations, if needed, when directed by the health authorities.

Please take the following precautions:

  • Wash your hands often with warm water and soap for 20 seconds, or with an alcohol-based hand sanitizer if soap and water aren’t readily available
  • Sneeze and cough into a tissue and discard the tissue, or into your upper sleeve or bend of your arm
  • Avoid touching your eyes, nose and mouth
  • Avoid contact with people who are sick
  • Refrain from the usual post-game handshake – everyone will understand and likely appreciate

Please note that it is very difficult to keep commonly-touched surfaces disinfected and therefore the best way to protect yourself is to wash your hands often.

If you develop symptoms (fever, cough, difficulty breathing), please stay home and contact one of the following health authorities for further advice:

  • Waterloo Public Health 519-575-4400
  • Telehealth Ontario at 1-866-797-0000

Expect delays when calling these numbers and call ahead before going to a medical office or emergency department
