Allotment Garden Virus Extra Visiting Allotments
Dear David Bell
Just a very quick note – sorry if you're not in the UK, this is UK advice.
Michael Gove MP, UK Minister for the Cabinet Office, stated this morning on the television that going to and tending your allotment was considered exercise and therefore allowable under the current more stringent rules for slowing the spread of the coronavirus.
Please continue to keep at least 2 metres away from other people – more is better! Remember the virus can be spread by contact from surfaces so if you touch something like a gate, padlock or tool touched by someone else, wash your hands with soap and water (even if cold) or use a proper hand sanitiser.This is good news for allotment holders as I have had quite a few members asking me If they could come to their allotment
