Dear parents/students, If you/ your child is not feeling well do not attend the classes - and if in doubt about Covid-19 please take a test.  Example.  If your child is sick on Saturday -- try not to attend the Sunday class. Missing a few classes nothing will happen -- but this way you may just help someone you are training every day from getting infected / SICK.  (Just keep in mind  that if you already had Covid-19 and it was easy for you -- for your friends may no be the same). - How to test yourselves - check out the link.  - https://youtu.be/zCqo7MhQT6U - Covid-19 symptoms. - https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/coronavirus-covid-19/symptoms/main-symptoms/#symptoms - Covid-19 symptoms may vary from person to person especially in children.   If in doubt, it is always best to test yourself.  - - Thank you to those of you who communicate with me on a regular basis.  Much appreciated.  Thanks!  Ylli Sensei www.mykarateclub.co.uk
