Indoor sport

Advise curling clubs to cancel this season.
Edinburgh curlibg is the busiest rink and has 5 sessions a day with 56 people on the ice at once.

Whilst social distancing is in the plan and field of play bubbles, players are still breathing heavily in low temperatures and the droplets as face coverings on the ice are not required can linger in the air for hours.

280 people a day 7 days a week, rapidly an outbreak could spread from one asymptomatic player.

A number of clubs are cancelling, make it a government decision and don't put the pressure on clubs officials to feel they have to continue to play as it shouldn't be up to them.

Individuals can manage who they meet but to be in an indoor space with 55 others that they don't know is not controlling the spread.

The vast majority of curling players are over 60 if not over 70, this increases the risk to themselves and each other. And in turn their families.

Health is more important than one curling season. Whilst the curling rink needs the income and provides jobs, government or funding from sport Scotland could support this.
