Avoid touching your eyes, nose, and mouth with unwashed hands.
Cover your nose and mouth with a tissue when you cough or sneeze. If you don’t have a tissue, cough or sneeze into your upper sleeve or elbow.
Do not share drink bottles, crockery or cutlery.
No shaking hands, hugging or kissing as a greeting.

If Vanessa is advised she is a close contact, becomes unwell, is confirmed positive or shows any symptoms of covid-19 she will immediately isolate and get tested. Photography sessions will be postponed, or a replacement photographer will be arranged (whichever is appropriate).
Symptoms include: loss or change in sense of smell or taste, fever, chills or sweats, cough, sore throat, shortness of breath, runny nose.
