Like many other businesses, the Somerset and Dorset Heritage Railway is monitoring the situation and following government guidelines.
As everyone's health and welfare is our priority, we will take all necessary precautions to ensure this.
We have asked that all our all staff and volunteers follow this advice:
Cover your mouth and nose with a tissue or your sleeve (not your hands) when you cough or sneeze
Put used tissues in the bin immediately
Wash your hands often with soap and water
Clean and disinfect frequently touched objects and surfaces
Avoid close contact with people who are unwell
Avoid touching your eyes, nose or mouth when your hands are not clean
Visitors if you are planning on visiting from an area that has been directly affected by the coronavirus and you are showing symptoms similar to those associated with the virus (fever, cough, breathlessness), it is best that you do not visit until you have contacted your local health authority or doctor for further advice and instruction.
We will continue to monitor the situation and government advice and will issue further updates if the situation changes.
The latest government information on coronavirus can be found on the Department for Health and Social Care’s website.
Given that the advice from the health authorities - for the moment has not changed - we are operating as normal for the time being
We will advise you further should this position change.
