According to the gov info
Teachers and staff Don’t need ppe in schools
Advising masks not to be worn
Quite how these clowns expect 5/6 year old kids to social distance IDK

Absolute, utter, twaddle. Would you care to enlighten us where you have sourced this prime piece of critical information?

Who excatly is advising this. I work in a job where when meeting people I have to wear a mask, apron and gloves plus it is a sterile as possible environment.
Who on earth said you need to bin any left over bait and end tackle.
I certainly wouldn't see the need for this.

Omg all this time I’ve been fishing incorrectly. I never realised that I was meant to rub my unused bait and used rigs around my mouth, up my nose and in my eyes.

What a load of horse****. Who makes this crap up? What next? Anymore ludicrous rules.? How about if you catch a carp, you’d better kill it, because once you’ve handled it then it’s possible it’s infected and if someone else catches it everyone in their town will die.

I give up.

Absolutely agree mate - i have been amazed at some of the comments on social media and elsewhere.

I'm surprised some of these people are still wearing shoes, no where in the document does it say you can wear shoes

One of my syndicates is opening - limited number of people, have to book in with the bailiff ahead of time to make sure numbers are kept low, gloves and disinfectant to be used on the lock, obviously no socialising and self takes if you catch.

Realistically the absolute main message is - keep your distance, wash/disinfect your hands regularly, avoid (or at best minimise) any contact with other people. If you exhibit any symptoms then isolate at home.

Apart from getting a bit of fishing in, nothing else will change for me. i might possibly go and see my mum (though would have to wave through the window as she is in the 'at risk' category) and drop some shopping to her.

Just seen that you are advised to dispose of all bait that is taken with you and all rigs that are used to be chucked in bins and all nets and unhooking mats to be dipped in disinfectant before and after a session to stop transfer of covid 19 and outher viruses

Obviously you would hope so but if removing the locks just takes the potential of transferring the virus by 1% surely it's worth it.Especially as the rest of the lake is not locked in or fenced.Its a public park lake,the rest of the lake has fences you just step over and luckily are quite a distance from the public footpath

A lot of carpers are used to having sanitiser or at least some decent soap / handwash to protect against Weils disease anyway. And if you don't eat the rats you'll stay that bit safer...

It’s a great point but just have some sanitizer in your pocket and don’t touch your face. I would like to think most sensible people would be doing this as a regular practice after visiting Shops etc.
