* Venues that have more people attending them on a regular basis carry a higher risk of
contagion, and can make contact tracing challenging.
* Venues such as nursing homes that have large at-risk populations should be avoided.
* Venues that are geographically isolated may increase the risk of contagion during travel.
When laying out the floor plan for your event, minimize opportunities for players to
congregate in close proximity. If possible, ask players to keep a two-metre distance from
each other when not playing.

Post notices reminding participants to wash their hands after each round, and offer
hand hygiene stations where possible.
