- (May be replaced by YCBM YouCanBook.me)
- Allow time to clean up, tidy round and disinfect, so you do not overrun.
- Reserve 30 minutes before and after your slot to allow for “dead air” - you should be out of the space during these times.

- Knock on arrival. If someone is there, don’t go in, even if they have overrun.
- Think about the activities you will do

- What is the situation with the kitchen and toilets? We think they are currently closed.
- Do people need to wear gloves for some things, e.g. to reduce transmission risks on hand tools?
- Keep windows open if at all possible.
Cleaning:
- Disinfect work surfaces and equipment before and after use
- Ensure touchpoints like window handles are cleaned too
