Festival News
Coronavirus
Please read the statement below from The British and International Federation of Festivals
We are sure that many of our members are already aware of the increasing media attention on the new coronavirus. We are aware that a large number of our members are likely to be in close contact with performers and colleagues on a daily basis. You may have some concerns about how to best manage any risks within the festival environment.
Be aware: The World Health Organisation (WHO) has issued advice on how to minimise the risk of infection. This advice is updated regularly and includes useful posters which can be downloaded and displayed at your festival to encourage good hygiene and infection control. You can access the WHO guidance here. Public Health England has also issued guidance this week to all English schools on managing the virus. They have a poster which provides a simple and helpful overview on managing the risk of infection. You can access the Public Health England resources here.
Communicate: Maintain good communication channels between festivals, teachers, schools, parents, adjudicators and accompanists about the preferred measures to be taken to avoid the risk of spreading the virus. Anyone who is feeling unwell should be advised to avoid attending the festival. We hope that all of our members remain in good health and that any disruption to the festival calendar as a result of the coronavirus is minimal. We will be happy to help if there are any last minute changes for festivals or adjudicators affected by illness.
With best wishes,
The British and International Federation of Festivals
