FitKidz with Heidi COVID-19 Guidelines
Please note that under HSE guidelines any child that has been in close contact with a Covid-19 case cannot attend the FitKidz class until their isolation period is over.
Resilience and Recovery 2020-2021: Plan for Living with COVID-19
Ireland is moving from a short-term emergency response approach to a medium-term approach to managing risk and repairing the damage that COVID-19 has inflicted on society. A Framework for Restrictive Measures has been developed to help us to go about our daily lives as much as possible, while managing the behaviour of the virus.
The message is to Stay Safe – you are urged to use your own judgement and take personal responsibility for protecting yourself, your friends and your family.
As issued on current re-opening roadmap, recognising that organised sports and fitness activities are permitted in outdoor settings from April 26th for groups of up to 15, the Expert Group on Return to Sport have provided the following guidance. This guidance should not be considered exhaustive, and organisers are advised to consult other official sources, in particular the advice published by the HSE. (gov.ie)
FitKidz with Heidi is asking all parents/guardians and members to read carefully the below information and to ensure everyone is doing what they can to reduce the spread of COVID-19.
Your help and support is greatly appreciated.

All parents/guardians are required to complete and email a COVID-19 Health Questionnaire for their child, before their child is permitted to train.
