Although there is no direct evidence that the lifestyle measures will protect against corona, they can be linked to improved immune efficiency and better gut health so are a sensible precaution, which you have control over:

We have had a lovely message come in from our Tai Chi teacher:

Hello my Tai Chi friends,

Due to the current situation, HCCN charity has recommended to stop the classes for the next month. This obviously applies fully to the first class, which runs 6-7 pm.
To encourage you to practice, Susan from HCCN gave me a great idea, to film the session, so, people will be able to practice from home. So, today, I have put my Heart Into this, and really hope you will be able to benefit from this. Here is the playlist on YouTube:

Having said the above, I will be in the hall, waiting for the next session at 7:10 pm after teaching in Huntingdon & Peterborough Federation of Women’s Institutes. So, feel free to come and talk to me, if you have any questions.

As about the second class, HCCN has asked me to tell all HCCN people, that they strongly recommend to avoid attendance for the next month. But knowing that there are also attendees outside of HCCN, the class will be running. You are all big children now 🙂. So, can make your decisions and be responsible for them.

Enjoy Tai Chi and keep safe.

The safety of everyone who benefits from and contributes to the HCCN family - our users, volunteers, nurses, contractors and suppliers – remains our priority.
The advice we are following is from PHE:
" www.gov.uk/guidance/coronavirus-covid-19-information-for-the-public
There is more information about coronavirus on the NHS website
www.nhs.uk/conditions/coronavirus-covid-19
The best way to prevent the spread of COVID-19:
• Wash your hands often with soap (or soap substitutes) and water for at least 20 seconds or use an alcohol-based hand sanitiser.
• Use an alcohol-based hand sanitiser that contains at least 60% alcohol if soap and water are not available.
• Cover your cough or sneeze with a tissue, then throw the tissue in a bin.
• Clean and disinfect frequently touched objects and surfaces in the home and work environment.
• Avoid touching your eyes, nose, and mouth with unwashed hands.


The key thing is, as always, to look after yourself. As Government advice changes, this advice will be updated as more information becomes available.

Coronavirus Situation Update:
The HCCN Trustees wish to reassure you that we are closely monitoring Government guidance relating to COVID-19 and will keep you updated. The following information is intended to help you decide what steps you may need to take.
COVID-19 is now circulating around the UK. Although relatively small numbers of people in the UK have been affected, the number is growing and is likely to rise
further. The Government rates the risk of acquiring this condition as moderate. And while anxiety is understandable the vast majority of people affected will experience
only mild symptoms and can recover at home.
The advice we are following is from PHE:
www.gov.uk/guidance/coronavirus-covid-19-information-for-the-public
There is more information about coronavirus on the NHS website:
www.nhs.uk/conditions/coronavirus-covid-19
The best way to prevent the spread of COVID-19:
 Wash your hands often with soap (or soap substitutes) and water for at least 20 seconds or use an alcohol-based hand sanitiser.
 Use an alcohol-based hand sanitiser that contains at least 60% alcohol if soap
and water are not available.
 Cover your cough or sneeze with a tissue, then throw the tissue in a bin.
 Clean and disinfect frequently touched objects and surfaces in the home and work environment.
 Avoid touching your eyes, nose, and mouth with unwashed hands.

At this time HCCN activities will run as normal. We are taking all appropriate steps to keep our future plans under review.
While the charity’s activities depend on the goodwill of our volunteers, contractors and suppliers, we recognise that you may prefer to stay away, particularly if you feel
unwell. You must come to your own decision on whether to attend or not – but remember you will be welcomed back at any time.
The key thing is, as always, to look after yourself. As Government advice changes, this advice will be updated when more information becomes available.
