Special Notice - March 15, 2020

Dear LAPL members,

The Board of Governors met yesterday for an emergency meeting and decided that due to the Covid-19 outbreak, the LA Pool League will be canceling the next two league nights of play; possibly three nights depending on how the situation emerges with respect of the spread of the Covid-19 virus.  

No Play the Week of March 16 and March 23 for sure:   We will have no league play for the week of March 16 & 23.  We will re-assess for the week of March 30 and let you know when we are able to make a decision.   

All Fundraisers Scheduled for the next three weeks are canceled as well.  

Covid-19:  We are making this decision following public health guidance from the State and local officials as well as out of an abundance of caution for the health of our members and supporters in light of the spread of Covid-19.   We care about our members and we advise our members to take actions which protect themselves against the spread of this virus.  These are some of things being recommended:

*  Limit your exposure to crowds and public places where one could come in contact with those who may have the virus.  
*  Practice good hygiene and wash your hands frequently for a minimum of 20 seconds with soap and water.  
*  Do not touch your face (mouth, nose, eyes and possibly ears) with unwashed hands.  Carry hand sanitizers and sanitize your hands when you touch surfaces which may not be sanitized or clean.
*  Stay away from people that are sick.  Stay away from people that are coughing.  If you cough, cough into your sleeve or elbow.  Tell people around you that are coughing to use tissue or cough into their sleeve.  
*  Get rest, eat well and hydrate yourself as you would do all the time for good health.
*  If you feel you are sick, become sick and have fever or cough, contact your physician or go to your urgent care or emergency room.  

* Most of all, try to stay calm and support one another through this period of time.  

I've pasted a link below for information in Los Angeles County should you need it.

Please pass this information on to people who you know that are not in the league.  

See you all soon.
