AFC Bournemouth are closely monitoring the ongoing situation regarding COVID-19 (novel coronavirus) and the rise of confirmed cases around the world.

Following guidance from the Premier League, the club has implemented a number of proactive measures across its sites to minimise the risk to our employees and help prevent the spread of the virus.

These include but are not limited to:

External visitors to Vitality Stadium being asked to complete a health questionnaire upon arrival.

Employees being reminded of good hygiene practices, including regular hand washing and the use of sanitisers, which are located around the club’s sites.

Restricting all non-essential access to training and medical areas across the club’s various sites.

Postponing all upcoming player appearances.

Taking home matchday precautionary measures.

Supporters attending our fixture at Anfield this weekend are reminded of the Premier League’s guidance for travelling fans here, and anyone displaying symptoms that are consistent with the virus should seek immediate medical advice.

We will continue to take guidance from the Government, NHS and Premier League and will update supporters with any further developments or measures that are put in place.
